How To Lose Stomach Fat But Retain Weight On Other Parts Of Body? Is Tummy Tuck Belt Safe?

Hi, My name is Angela and I have a question that I can't seem to find anywhere. I am about 5'2" and weigh about 110 lbs. It took me forever to get to this weight, so I desperately do not want to loose it. However, in my struggle to gain weight, the first thing to expand was my stomach. Is there anything that I can do to loose the gut but keep the rest of the weight I gained elsewhere (hips, thighs, legs, and butt mainly)? Also I have seen the commercials for the Tummy Tuck Belt, would that be a physically safe option?

hi,

the tummy tuck belt will just hide your belly but not actually remove it,also it may give rise to other problems of skin under the belt since it will be tight, what i would suggest is you go to gym and exercise at least do running on treadmill and exercise for abs, this will help you reduce your abdominal fat

now you may think that you will lose weight if you exercise.for that i will give you certain guidelines which you should follow daily for the diet which will help you increase your weight further.
