After myomectomy over 2 years ago, I lost 40lbs through diet and exercise. Still have pooch in lower abdomen, will it ever go?

Asked By:nikkitri in Miami, FL

Will the pooch ever go away with diet and exercise only ? My upper body and shoulders and back has gotten nice and defined , m upper abs have some definition but can't seem to get rid of the pooch in lower abdomen which is also numb after the surgery. Considered lipo but afraid , it's getting frustrating cuz I work out really hard and eat really well , what am I missing ? I'm also a pear shape , 5'4 , 148 lbs early 30's
