Here’s the secret ingredient: patience!!! You are too impatient! I was, too, but then I learned to wait.
May I also suggest that you not just do ab workouts and pushups? Try squats, lunges, arm curls, and a variety of other full body exercises. Plus, if your working your ab muscles every day, they don’t have to rest and repair themselves.
Try just working abs every other day; you will get results (if your patient!)

Just doing stuff that focuses on your abs actually will not be the best thing for you. This website http://www.fatlossandfitness.net talks a lot about that in particular. Take a look. There are free tips and also a paid section. Good luck!

If you want to lose weight in your belly you have lose it throughout. “The best way to lose the fat in the stomach area is by proper diet and exercise.
STOP DOING THESE-
» Since you now know that drinking and not eating on time increases the chances of getting a pot belly stop doing these.
» Stop binging on fibre free, refined flours and the foods such as white bread, pasta, donuts, cakes and biscuits. They lead to bloating, poor digestion, and causes accumulation of fat.
» Try not to have late night snacks: The main problem with late night snacking is that there is not much activity done afterwards. People go straight to bed right after the late night meal because they are tired. So, this will cause high sugar levels in the blood stream and no energy spent after that. The excess sugar will just turn into fat.
EAT THESE –
» While you give up on the bad carbohydrates, continue having the good carbs in the form of Fruits, vegetables.
» Increasing the fibre intake also helps in absorbing the fat that you eat. So choose wholegrain foods in place of refined ones. It also plays changes the glucose and insulin response and makes it easier to mobilize fat stores.
» “Remember to eat small frequent meals i.e. break down your meals from 3 square meal to 5-6 meals in a day” advices Anjum.
AND DO THESE-
We have all heard that sit-ups and crutches help you lose weight in the abdomen but it actually only ends up strengthening the abdomen muscles. Spot training won’t banish the fat, so isolating belly as an area to lose weight will not work.
Weight training- It is the best way lose the belly fat. Muscles burn more calories than fat so using weights helps to do that.
Aerobic exercises- there are the other exercises like jogging, swimming, dancing and sports like tennis which gives the body an overall workout and ensure that you don’t get that ‘extra tyre’ around your waist.
