Hello and thanks for your question. This is difficult to determine without an examination. If there is a lot of excess skin then it is true that exercises will not resolve that. If there is excess fat and poor muscle tone then exercises to strengthen the abdominal muscles and a low sugar and carbohydrate diet can firm up the belly and reduce belly fat. See your doctor for an exam and better opinion based upon that evaluation. Good luck
