Before I quit smoking I was 5'7" 127 lbs. I was pretty skinny back then. Then I quit smoking and now I am 153 lbs. The weight I've gained was welcomed, except I now have a gut. I know, or think, in order to lose the belly fat I need to burn more calories than I take in. But would that cause me to become more skinny all around? My goal is to have my upper body remain as large but lose the gut if possible. Are there any supplements or drinks, such as from GNC, I could take in conjunction with the exercises I do? I work out about 3-4 times per week, 30 min each time. They consist of only upper body workouts. Any other tips would be helpful.

if you have gained weight only in the belly, that can be caused by alcohol. the way the body metabolises alcohol, the sugars are stored in the belly. so if you consume more than one-two servings of alcohol a day, that could be the problem! if that's not it, keep in mind that there is no way to "spot" fix problem areas. that is, you have to lose weight overall in order to reduce fat. you can't just do situps in order to get a flat stomach, you have to combine cardio and weight training for the whole body in order to see results and to maintain your health. congrats for quitting smoking!! that's a really tough thing to do. you should pat yourself on the back for that!! good luck flattening that tummy, too!

You could buy a protein supplement from GNC. I never use them so I'm not sure which ones are the best. I recommend those because you can't target certain areas of fat since your body burns it all over. So if you do a cardio routine and throw in some weight training you'll increase your muscle size and won't look skinny all over.

(That's what I was thinking as soon as I read the question, before reading the first answer.)
