What should i do about a little belly fat?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Diet/exercise: There are no special pills that will decrease belly fat - only diet and exercise with weight loss if you're overweight. If you have a medical disorder like pcos leading to increased belly fat, there are medications which will help treat the disorder, but weight loss still needs to occur. The only other way is liposuction.

Belly fat: Body fat is lost by increasing metabolism, and unfortunately you can not spot reduce. Ie you can not do abdominal exercise to loose abdominal fat. The fat is deposited and can be removed by weight loss. General rule, last place fat gained is the first to go and the the first place gained is the last to go.
