How long until I lose enough weight?
I’m 17, about 6ft tall and weigh about 184lbs. I’m quite muscular since I work out a lot, and I dont have that much body fat but I have a bit of a tummy I’d like to get rid of. I do a lot of ab workouts so my abs are strong, I can feel them, but there’s a bit of fat covering the middle and lower abs (basically I only really have a four pack at the moment)
I do cardio (swimming) three times each week, and lift weights four times each week. I’ve completely cut out any bad foods or drinks, no fast food, soda, alcohol, chocolate etc. and I’m eating smaller portions. I try my best to stay away from fat, and I only eat carbs at lunch and breakfast (with protein and fruit/vegetables throughout the day). Luckily I’m mesomorphic and already in good shape, but I really want to lose that bit of stomach fat in time for beach season. I’m sticking to a good ab workout too, with plenty of variety, and I drink around 3-5 litres of water each day
Any thoughts/ideas?
Seems like you’re doing the right thing. Everyone has a place which carries a little bit of extra weight; yours must be your stomach. One of the most important things to do when losing weight is NEVER skip breakfast and try to not snack throughout the day. You could also have an under-active thyroid but I highly doubt it. If you are still having trouble losing weight in a few months, consult your doctor or even a nutritionist.
Good luck!

At that diet and regularity of exercise, you’ll be seeing results in the next few weeks considerably, if you keep up with it. Just make sure you vary the amount of food, so you’re metabolism doesn’t get a chance to slow and keep the same.

By the sound of things it won’t take you very long at all.
If you wanted to maximise weight loss I would recommend doing frequent running. While swimming is a very good full-body workout, running helps to shed that extra fat!
Good luck!
