Answer 1

Mens bodies tend to store fat reserves on abdomen while womens bodies store it more all over the place. the only way to get rid of it is by lowering your body fat percentage which you achieve by healthy diet and exercise. actually its more dangerous to have a lot of fat reserves on your abdomen and can lead to heart diseases.
find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio is the only fat burning exercise and burns fat all over your body (running, jogging, swimming, spinning, elliptical etc) 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), weight training a few days a week but never work on the same muscle group two days in a row (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

my dad is in his 40's. he had a bit of a belly also. he was diagnosed with diabetes but he was able to control it with his diet. this diet was very, very low carb. but not NO carb. his belly is now almost gone just 9 months later... so look up low carb or diabetic diets.. and its very hard and strict but you gotta do what you gotta do..
