Can I get Tummy tuck with a BMI of 34.8? (photos)

Gagan12192
Hello i am interested in getting liposuction and full tummy tuck. unfortunately everytime i've consulted with a doctor i've been told to lost 20 more lbs. i've lost 50lbs over the last 3 years and am now 203lbs at 5'4". i have been doing losing weight diet, yoga, and gym multiple times a week but my weight isn't decreasing. short of starving myself i have no way to lose weight. should i give up the hope of ever having a tummy tuck & lipo or are there any options available for me?
