Bodyfat loss is controlled almost 100% by diet.
Sorry, there is no getting around this, this is just where men store their fat.
So, you have to get away from storing the fat and switch to burning it.

Try a lower carbohydrate approach and eat more frequently with smaller meals. But I can see you are already pretty low in the carbs.
Never skip breakfast.

You are just about the exact same size as me and weight.

Ok, shoot for two pounds a week weight loss, after about 5 weeks shoot for a pound a week till you get to your target weight.

Losing fat around the middle is slow, frustrating but (as i'm finally learning) the key is consistently sticking to a good clean diet, maintaining a good level of cardio and being patient (liposuction anyone?) LOL
