My stomach is big compared to my body weight

Ans: Sorry to hear about your concern regarding your stomach size compared to your body weight. Creating a calorie deficit, where you consume fewer calories than you burn, is crucial for reducing body fat, including around the stomach, and this can be achieved through a combination of diet and exercise. A high-protein diet helps with weight loss and muscle building by keeping you full longer and supporting muscle repair and growth. Incorporating resistance exercises such as squats, lunges, push-ups, and weightlifting into your routine can help build muscle and boost metabolism, burning calories and toning abdominal muscles. Cardiovascular exercises like walking, jogging, cycling, and swimming also help reduce overall body fat. Additionally, core strengthening exercises like planks, leg raises, and Russian twists can improve muscle tone in the stomach area. It’s important to maintain a consistent exercise routine and be patient, as changes in body composition take time. I recommend visiting a physiotherapist who can create a personalized exercise plan tailored to your needs.
