I think the belly fat will be off after you lose more weight it is obvious if you keep on losing weight the body wont have a choice but to take fat from the belly too when in other parts are little to none, i'm also in to losing weight and lost 5 kg (11 pounds) till now and i'm not obese too.
About the masturbation if you don't feel the need to masturbate more than 1-2 times per month then it's ok why go more if you don't feel the need, go with what feels ok.
Are you doing hata yoga?
Hi!
I see, thank you.
And yes, like I said I do yogas.
Hatha and Kundalini yoga. I mix up exercising with Hatha Yoga as it includes more moving around, then relax, and do kundalini yoga and then relax again to let my body adjust to everything.

About the exercise, I would say just keep it up the way you are doing it now. Measure your progress every month or so and you should notice improvements with the belly fat.
As you already said yourself, its important to not overdo it as this can lead to injury or lack of motivation on the following day.
Make sure you eat healthily as well. Regularly getting some salad and veggies in your diet is important, for example. I'm no expert but from my experience so far these two things help "lubricate" your body so that your joints stay healthy and so that impurities can be removed more easily (this should also apply to helping your body get rid of fat). Avoid too much processed food like pizza, white bread, processed sweets, etc.
Replace sweets with sweet whole-fruits if you crave something like this. Plums are great.
As far as the menstruation issue, since I am not a girl I will ping Shannon here who should be able to give you some advice.

About lacking libido, it may or may not be connected to the other issues you mentioned. How long has it been like this now? Is it just recently like that or has it gone on for a good while already?
One thing you can always try is to set up a good ambience for yourself. Take the time sometimes to relax for an hour or two, make sure you wont get disturbed by anyone, and see if you can get in the mood that way. As far as I'm aware, 1-2 times a month is a bit too little to be healthy.
You can also try the spiritual Mars square with an affirmation to healthily help your libido. December 22nd is a great time to start.
Hey!
Thank you very much!!
About the libido, when I was a teen, about 4-5 years ago, I used to need to masturbate for at least 2 times a day everyday, other times just 2 or 3 times a week.
And now it's just 1-2 times a month.
A few days ago I felt like going at it for 3 times in a row and then thought I'll do it again the next day, but nothing.
I hate getting like this honestly.
Does anyone have a tip for me on how to combat excess belly fat?
It boils down to burning more calories than you take in. With caloric deficit over time, you will lose weight, and fat. Just don't be too much in deficit as it makes your life miserable, but something like 200-300 calories on deficit per day is definitely doable. You will lose weight even with only 100 calories deficit, mind you. It just takes longer. Longer is better with these kind of things. And it's okay to indulge on something sometimes, but the trend should be clear: lose weight.
In order to lose belly fat you don't have to target belly specifically. Like other member posted just exercise and you will lose that fat. If you like walking, I suggest a walk. 30-60 minutes a day will burn a few extra calories and will help you lose that fat. Any kind of exercise that you enjoy doing is good. Excercising should be most importantly enjoyable. The good stuff that follows from doing it can be seen as a nice bonus, in my opinion.
I wish you good luck. I know you can do it. :D
Hi.
I do exerciser other parts of my body, like my arms, my legs, my back (my lower more so since I need to strengthen it more).
I'll be sure to monitor my whole body progress as I lose weight. My mom say I look thinner which is a bonus.
Thank you! I wish you the best likewise in whatever your endeavor is!!!
About belly fat, spot reduction is s myth, you don't lose belly fat by doing crunches. To remove that you have lose weight.
Hi.
As I mentioned above, I do more than just belly exercises.
Thanks!
It’s impossible to target fat loss. Doing ab work won’t aid in belly fat loss. The body in men and women, stores fat in certain areas differently and when losing weight you’ll lose fat usually in the belly and love handles last. In the face it tends to go first, but more or less it’s uniform. You’ll have to keep losing weight overall to get the belly down.
With menstration and masterbation there could be hormonal imbalances. You may want to look into that, and pay attention to diet, but congratulations on consistent exercise. Keep it up.
Hi there!
Thank you. As I mentioned above, I do more than just belly exercises.
I am not sure honestly what it could be, but I'd be more than happy to finally be able to have normal menstruations instead of abdnormal.
Thank you!
