Can u please guide me how can i get rid of this belly fat.please.. im waiting for your valuable answer. My parents says, its common and it will go after few months... i really dont know anything... please help me..

Answer
Well,
It is often difficult to lose the abdominal fat.  It usually takes a chance in diet.  The first step is less carbohydrates.  The next step is exercise.  Walking is the best exercise.  Start with a daily 15 minute walk and increase to 45 minutes.

Abdominal exercises are the third step.
