I am 38, 5'1 feet, and weigh 155 lbs. Lipo or Tummy Tuck? (photo)

sb73
I am 38, 5'1 feet, and weigh 155 pds. I have had three kids naturally. I excercise 5-7 days for 30-40 mins. I can not get the stomach fat down. I was told by one doctor that I can do just a LIPO and 3 others told me that I need tummy tuck (not sure if they were just saying that for the money). Should I do Lipo or Tummy Tuck? Can I do tummy tuck if the Lipo does not do what I want? Can I do breast lift with just Lipo or does it have to be with tummy tuck? I am so confused !!!!
