To kill belly fat, you need a combination of a calorie deficit from a healthy diet (focus on protein, fiber, whole foods, less sugar/processed carbs) and regular exercise, especially aerobic exercise, HIIT, and strength training to build muscle, which burns more calories at rest, while also managing stress, getting sleep, and limiting alcohol. You can't spot-reduce fat, so overall body fat loss through a consistent, healthy lifestyle is the key.
