Depending on Ur. ..: ...age U could wear an ACL stabilizing brace 4 activities, older people get stability from a TKA. This is not 4 active people in 40-65 yr. olds. Always remember that there is no problem in orthopedics that is so bad that it can't be made worse by surgery.

What is the best exercise to reduce tummy fat?

Lose wt, aerobics: Probably the best way to lose tummy fat
would be to lose weight using aerobic exercise such as walking or cycling.
Also you can work on strengthening your
abdominal muscles.
If you don't lose weight you probably not
have the washboard abs one strives for.

Commonly a cyst: This can be from many things but if you have an internal knee problem like a meniscus tear or wear on your cartilage, you joint can make extra fluid and this can escape out the back of the knee joint and create a space filled with joint fluid called a poplital (or baker's) cyst.
Get evaluated by your doctor first and get a diagnosis.
