As title says been ay gym for around 10 years or so now mainly weight training can compound exercise my bodyweight plus 20kg on most exercises minus the stationary shoulder press stuck around 70kg but bench deadlift squat all over 100kg for 8 sets, I weigh around 14.5st, and over recent years got a bit of belly fat I just can't shift mainly in the lower abdomen area upper abdomen is fine abs visable, cardio wise I use the bikes at the gym for an average of 20 miles a week and box on Wednesdays for 1:30 mins so that's HIT covered.

Any decent exercises anyone recommends.

Could probably get rid of it at a calorie deficit for a month or so however I don't feel like that's a long term solution.

I feel like my ideal bodyweight is between 13-13.5 stone that was my competitive weight when I was boxing 4 times a week, since I have laid off that properly my weight has settled almost a stone heavier, obviously I have more muscle mass now than I did when I was fighting so that maybe accounts the stone in weight.

You are already doing plenty of exercise so I cant see adding anything else in is going to help reduce it. You need to dial back what you are eating a bit. Don't have to go mad, but cut some calories back.

Abs are made in the kitchen as the saying goes.

If I read that correctly you don't seem to be doing that much cardio at all, 20 miles a week on the bike and the boxing is nothing spread over a week what's a days eating look like?

Calorie deficit is the only way I’m afraid…

You can spend 5 hours In the gym, be active for the rest of the day, but if you’re burning 3000 calories a day and eating 3500 you aren’t going to lose weight.
