it is physiologically impossible to localize fat loss through diet and/or exercise. fat loss occurs all over the body or it doesn't occur at all.
doing crunches, sit-ups, etc. do not have a localized effect on fat loss.
the fact that you are gaining fat in your abdominal region is a bad sign that your insulin sensitivity is decreasing. when insulin sensitivity decreases more nutrients getting transported into fat cells than into muscle cells. this usually occurs when activity levels drop and/or the caloric intake is more than the body needs

Do an aerobic excercise. Run or jog or walk or dance or swim or do whatever, but make sure it is for 15+ minutes becasue after that you are usually past using your carbs for energy and start burning fat. That should help, but usually you cant really lose weight on just your stomach but since that is where most of the fat seems to be it will probably reduce mostly the stomach, but other places with be reduced along with it. Sorry, but you can't really just focus on getting rid of fat in just one part of the body. Hope that helps!

I would do crunches every day, before you go to sleep or when you wake up. To stretch your abs you might wanna lay on your stomach in a push up position and fully extend your arms (don't actually do a push up). But you shouldwatch out because the fat you're gaining might mean that your matabolism is slowing down.

Follow the 80/20 rule, which means eating clean 80 percent of that time period and indulging a little 20 percent of the time.

Also include 10 grams regarding fiber to satiate hunger longer and forestall bloating from constipation.

sorry to say - not a thing in the world.
there is nothing that can direct where fat is lost on your body.
all you can do is start an exercise program that makes sure that you burn more calories than you take in.
don't be taken in by b.s. advertisments - there is no way to direct the losing of fat from one part of your body over another.
you can target where you build muscle, but now where the fat goes from...

Aim for a 300- to 400-calorie meal.

Keep weights in the living room to help you do some reps while viewing television.

Take time once a full week to plan out and purchase meals and snacks so you're prepared whenever hunger strikes.
