The diet is the most important thing to lose weight and belly fat. It is a must to be in a caloric deficit
– burn more calories than what you are ingesting.
You also want to eat around 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. Protein is imperative to build muscle and will help you lose weight faster.
Once you follow a diet, be consistent and you will soon see a difference in how you look.
Using the diet alone will help you lose fat, but it is impossible to build muscle without proper training. Your goal is not to lose weight, but to lose fat and for that to happen, you need to be consistent with your diet and add resistance training to your routine.
What is the best training for you? It depends on what is your current level.

Once you are going to the gym, you can begin applying progressive overload.
This is when you gradually demand more of your muscle so they can grow and get stronger. Most people think that this means adding more weight to your barbell, for example. While that is true, there are many other methods to apply progressive overload.

Recovery in Diamonds’ words means sleep. Your body recomposition depends on all the arguments presented above, but you need to sleep between 7-9 hours
if you want to see proper results. It is through recovering properly that your muscles will build and you will keep the fat you lose away.
Supplementation
plays a smaller role in the entire list of how to lose belly fat. However, it is important to know that you can supplement your diet accordingly, even if you are a beginner. Choose supplements that are highly researched such as protein powder and creatine.
