Hi,
Thanks for the query.
After delivery it will take some time for regularization of menstrual cycles.
Menstrual cycles between 21 to 35 days can be taken as normal only.
Menstrual flow for 7 days can also be taken normal.
Commercial belts may not give required results that much early as advertised.
Better option is exercises.
As you have undergone cesarean section, better to start the exercises after 6 months of surgery.
Concentrate on exercises that reduce tummy fat like crunches, leg lifts etc.
Decrease oil, salt, sugar in diet.
Take plenty of water, fruits and vegetables etc.
Breastfeeding helps in burning additional calories and getting pre pregnancy weight.
Take care.
