Introduction
Under normal circumstances, the term "belly" refers to the abdominal area. Thick subcutaneous fat in the abdomen may be caused by factors such as genetics, overeating, and lack of physical activity. It can be improved through exercise and dietary adjustments. If these methods are ineffective, other options such as cryolipolysis, radiofrequency lipolysis, or liposuction may be considered. It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and proceed under the guidance of a qualified physician.

In general, the term "belly" refers to the abdominal area. Thick subcutaneous abdominal fat may be caused by factors such as genetics, overeating, and lack of physical activity.

It is recommended to visit a reputable medical facility and proceed under the guidance of a qualified physician.

Exercise should be chosen according to personal preference and physical condition. Activities such as jogging, brisk walking, jumping rope, and swimming can help burn overall body fat. Aim for 150–300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week, ideally spread over 5–7 days. For dietary management, avoid high-calorie foods such as fried items, sweets, and carbonated beverages—like hamburgers, ice cream, and cola. Maintain regular eating habits, prioritize breakfast, and avoid skipping meals or eating dinner too late.
