Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query in HealthcareMagic,

I have gone through your query,

It is quite normal to gain belly fat as you age but the essential thing is to stay active and avoid any diseases like hypertension, high cholesterol and diabetes. the usual cause for increased belly fat is the excessive deposition of cellulite.

There are many drugs available in the market claiming to reduce belly fat, but I would not personally encourage any of it, as it is sure to have its own consequences in the long run.

I would suggest you to do the following:

- engage in daily minimum 'brisk' walking for 45 mins or hit a gym and workout in a planned manner. This will surely make you feel better and aid in cutting down the belly fat.

- consume a well balanced diet comprising of more fruits and vegetables and also fiber rich foods which will help in better metabolism and less weight gain.

- Also there are certain aerobic workouts available, which you can google and exercise along.

- drink two glasses of green tea daily for faster metabolism.

For a detailed diet chart in consideration with your weight, height and age, you can avail the "Ask a dietician" option seen in your dashboard.


Other reliable options is bariatric surgery, which helps in sudden weight loss. But this is not usually recommended in your age group.

I hope I have answered to your query,

Please feel free to discuss further,

Regards
