I have wide hips and a shapely ass but a hard belly if I do exercises to target my stomach will that make me lose weight there but keep my hips etc?

Nope. If you research it there is no such thing as spot work when working out. The only way to lose belly fat is to eat in a deficit of calories and workout OR eat more protein with a slight caloric increase and actively work to build muscle.


Typically you will lose weight in the reverse order you gained it and women usually have a harder time losing belly, thigh and butt fat compared to men.


It takes effort to lose a gut.

Try Pilates and Barre combined with a diet that avoids simple added sugars and bread and check back in after 30 days. Also don't overdo cardio because it's a biggest myth associated with weight (fat) loss. Instead, if you're up for it, focus of weights because that provides the underlying muscle tone that is critical for effective fat burn. But don't forget diet, Pilates, and Barre.

So there is no exercise that can target any specific area of fat. Your body will burn fat from an even distribution of your body or from whatever area it sees fit. Unfortunately, there is no way to target and specific fat.

I gained my last 14 pounds on my stomach though and that's how much I want to lose, 14 pounds i hope that it goes away from there only

That's impossible. You can't gain fat jn one area. You can lower overall body fat though with compound exercises and healthy diet

@Keishio I have a huge hard double fat belly where there's a hard pouch at the top then it dips in then hangs out at the bottom but its all hard fat

[Keishio]

I think you should see a doctor about that

@Keishio nah I'm good. When I had covid last year I literally lost that belly because I was eating like 800 calories a day for 2 weeks I was sick. Then when I became a bit better I still wasn't eating much. So in a month I had an almost flat belly
