Hello lybrate-user. It is good that you are taking efforts to lose excess fat. Belly fat especially is the most dangerous type of fat which can increase the risk of lifestyle diseases. From what you have mentioned here, I can assess that your gut health is off track i.e. The good bacteria are lesser and bad bacteria is more than it should be. Many more details about your eating patterns and lifestyle habits are required as this is a multi-factorial issue. Your body fat percentage is impacted by your food habits ,sleep patterns, exercise & environmental factors. Skipping cheese, sweets and oily food is a good first step. But not enough. Increase your water intake, keep 3-4 hour gap between meals, observe which foods suit you & which ones cause bloating/indigestion, walk 1 hour a day. For detailed guidelines, you can consult me directly via Lybrate for details about long term programs for gut health & belly fat reduction.
