What are the ways to reduce the tummy after delivery. Now my baby is almost 4 months old. But still my tummy is not reduced. Kindly advise.

Question

Hi lybrate-user,
Its normal to put on around belly and waist during pregnancy. Do not worry, it is possible to get rid of pregnancy weight and gain your confidence again.
There are two pillars for weight loss. Diet and exercise. Although right diet can control further weight gain and assure overall health, exercise is must for weight reduction. 30 mins walk (to start with), with well-balanced diet (depending on your health condition) can lead to gradual and healthy weight loss. Workout, eat well, be patient. Your body will reward you.
I would be happy to help you. Please consult me privately so that I can understand your problem in detail and device a diet plan for you. You can book a private In-person/Text/Audio/Video appointment for further discussion and personalized advice.
