Recently had surgery that kept me from eating solid foods, was 165 and got down to 130, ive noticeably lost lots of fat around my ribs and every other parts of my body, but i still have a "gut". Ive been able to get back to 145 by lifting weights, and doing crunches still no progress on the ab area, crunches done every night. My schedule doesn't allow for the eat every two hours nor do i want to eat that much, and there is no way i eat more than 2k calories a day. 

What do i need to do to get this particular fat to go away. When i tighten my abs you can see them, but if i relax and act normal i literally look obese
