Hello,
I'm a skinny fat person. Trying to get rid of the belly fat. I'm 157 lbs, 5' 8". I have fat on belly, love handles with a little bit on the chest.
My goal is to become lean without putting up tons of muscles. Tom Holland in Spiderman Homecoming would be where I want to see myself at.
I took appointment with a trainer at 24 Hour Fitness. He suggested me the only way to do that is to gain muscles. Agreed.
I worked under his supervision for three months, three times a week and saw some real good improvements in strength.
But, my problem remained the same, i still had the fat that I needed to get rid of.
He said I'll have to keep increasing my strength (and thus my muscles and also weight) for six more months. Only then I can think about cutting.
I got off my trainer because it was getting expensive. From all the articles on internet, there seems to be an uninamous opinion that I need to keep working out while maintaining a calorie deficit.
What should I do? I feel like I'm stuck.
Thaks a ton
