Eat 100 calories less and see how it goes.
Continue decreasing by 100 until you get a healthy point where your belly fat shall decrease whilst maintaing the muscle.
Do compound movements and lift for weight not reps.
Ensure You're getting LOADS of protein and you'll be good to go.Posted on the TSR App. Download from Apple or Google Play -

I thought with someone in your circumstances it was as clear-cut as just having a low carbohydrate but at the same time a high protein diet?
