Answer:
"Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym"
Explanation:
Before I get started, I would like to make clear that I am NOT a nutritionist, fitness expert, doctor, or any medical specialist. Anything I say should be checked by an actual physician and if anyone who sees this and thinks what I said is incorrect or could be added on please do so, it would be much appreciated. Always check with your physician before starting a diet or exercise regimen.
Now it might sound redundant but it's honestly true, there's so much nuance and science to weight loss but we do know 1 thing, and it's that your diet as in how much, and what you eat has a much larger effect on your body's weight, body fat, and muscle mass levels than working out in the gym. That being said I will still try to answer your question.
Answer 2:
There are only 4 things you can do for your body plain and simple, gain muscle, lose muscle, gain fat, lose fat. If you just want to lose fat but maintain muscle(which I'm assuming you want to do because it is probably the most common and most seen in my eyes), you should try going on a caloric deficit combined with weight lifting and/or resistance training. There is one thing that must be said however, when you are in a caloric deficit you have to eat healthy and make sure that your caloric deficit isn't too substantial. For example, you must find your maintenance caloric intake for the day(to maintain weight(mine is 2100 and it varies based on gender, height, weight, age, and other factors)) then you should try to aim for a 300-400 caloric deficit starting off(so around 1700 for me). Anything too low and your body will start to slow down its metabolism too much.
Abstract:
I am probably not the absolute best person to get information from but a proper diet, a caloric deficit, and some weight training or resistance training paired with daily physical activity should help you lose the correct amount of weight.
I hope this helps
