Hello, I am 42 years old, 5'2, and weigh around 140 lbs. My weight has fluctuated in the past couple years. Before COVID, I weighed around 125lbs. I would like to get back to that weight range soon. Throughout the weight changes , I have always had a large lower abdominal pouch, large hips, and saddlebags. I currently am not exercizing much other than walking. Even when I ran and strength trained, these problem areas persisted. Coolsculpting or Slimlipo? Before or after weight loss?
