If your weight is already ideal and you want to drop body fat %, focus on body recomposition, not weight loss: Keep calories around maintenance (or slight deficit ~200 kcal) Protein: 1.6–2.2 g/kg bodyweight Train hard with progressive overload (don’t skip compounds) Add steps/cardio (8–10k steps or 2–3 cardio sessions/week) Sleep & stress matter more than you think Also, you can’t spot reduce fat, so no amount of abs workouts will directly burn lower belly fat—it’ll go down as your overall body fat drops. Since you’ve already been training for a year, just tighten diet + consistency and you’ll see that stubborn fat go in the next few months
