On Feb 1, 2022 I had a tummy tuck with flank lipo. Within the last month I look like I have a beer belly. It all pouches out. From under my boobs to the TT scar. Do I need a revision?

Liposuction can be used to enhance and contour your curves, but your surgeon is limited by your anatomy. An in person examination and discussion of your goals is needed to determine if liposuction would get you to results that you'd be happy with or if your anatomy dictates otherwise.
It's difficult to determine what may have occurred without an examination. If you are continuing to have tightness that is uncomfortable a year after surgery you may benefit from physical therapy or guided stretching. See your surgeon for an evaluation for what is recommended for you.
