Everyone has already covered the diet part, so I don’t need to repeat all of that. The other part that hasn’t been mentioned yet it’s your mental health, and in particular stress. Elevated cortisol levels are known to increase fat stores in the belly area.
Caveat: I haven’t read too much about this, so I can’t say with much certainty that it’ll help, but it’s a good idea to get a handle on your mental health regardless. What I do know so far it’s that the levels of cortisol that come from certain medication side effects or physiological problems can lead to increased visceral fat. I’m not sure if the levels you experience with regular daily stressors would be sufficient for a significant effect size.
