Hello,
I am 36 years old, 5.8", 150 lbs. My body is skinny fat (thin everywhere but my stomach).
For work I'm a mailman and I walk briskly/jog for 2.5-3 hrs a day, burning about 1200-1600 calories a day 5 days a week according to my Fitbit.
2 weeks ago I decided to try to loose my gut and add some muscle so I started spending 30-45min lifting free weights 5 days a week in the evening, eat about 2000 calories a day. I have dropped a few pounds so far and can see a little muscle definition change but still no change in my gut size.
After actually spending sometime reading about it today I'm getting mixed messages. Some articles suggest eating more calories, some say less, Some say that's too much cardio.
I would just like a little guidance
Thanks

I would recommend that you keep lifting weights. Lifting weights will help you burn your body fat and reduce gut. It is important to remember that change can happen very slowly, so it may take a while to get rid of your gut. Once you get comfortable lifting weights, you should gradually increase the amount of weight that you lift. This will help you build more muscle and burn more fat. Leave a Reply
