What’s the best way to gain muscle mass AND lose unwanted stomach fat at the same time?
I’ve been working on gaining muscle mass for the past 8-9 months, and have gained only 30 pounds by eating heavily. But, I also developed a small gut on my lower abs, and It’s preventing my lower abs from showing. I still want to gain another 30ish pounds considering genetically I’m fairly skinny, so what’s the best way to do it?
Is running or swimming better cardio for losing stomach fat while trying to gain mass?

any type of exercise should accomplish your goals as long as you push yourself and stick with it… muscle mass and body fat are two completely different things, you don’t convert either into the other, so the more shape you are in the better your muscles should be and the less fat you should have

The best way is through anaerobic exercises such weight-lifting and running. It produces growth hormone and testosterone. Both are important ingredients for muscle mass. You should not over exercise, otherwise your efforts would be wasted. High intensity produces free radicals and cotisol (stress hormone) This leads to diminishing returns of the growth hormone and testosterone The presence of stomach fat indicates your sugar and insulin levels are probably higher than needed. You need to work on your diet.Zone-diet(30% carbohydrates, 40% protein and 30% fat) will solve your problem. Avoid soft drinks and beer. Take plain water instead.

I know it’s hard, but it’s 2009 there are modern techniques for this. For example Proactol. This binds the fat in your stomach so you won’t get fat. here is a video how this works:
