Fat stored around lower belly can be difficult to lose for some individuals, and require balanced diet and lifestyle modifications to achieve sustainable results.
-Try to include at least one source of prebiotic (curd, buttermilk or yogurt) post your meals, to help maintain good gut bacteria and promote better digestion.
-You can also add fennel or ajwain tea (1tsp fennel or ajwain in 150ml warm water) post your meals and in the morning to help boost your daily metabolism.
-Do incorporate a short 15 to 20 minutes' walk to post your meals for better digestion and metabolism.
-Along with the quality of food, your food timings and portions matter as well, focus on your breakfast being the bigger meal and reducing quantity over day with dinner being the lighter meal. Avoid late night snacking as it can lead to an increase in body fat.
-Focus on exercises that target your core, including planks and crunches along with cardio exercises.
-Lifestyle modification and stress management also help in overall weight loss process; you can include daily meditation or yoga to help manage stress levels.

Great job on losing 13 kg in 6 months—this shows excellent consistency.
Lower belly fat is usually the last area to reduce and cannot be targeted specifically. As overall fat loss continues, this area will also improve gradually.

Please book a consultation with me on Practo for personalised guidance
