Reduce sugary drinks, alcohol, and highly processed foods
Eat enough protein to support muscle retention and satiety

Include back-focused exercises such as rows, lat pulldowns, pull-ups, reverse flyes, and face pulls
Add full-body resistance training for overall fat loss
Do cardio consistently, such as brisk walking, cycling, running, or swimming
Increase daily movement by walking more and sitting less
Improve posture to make back fat less noticeable
Get enough sleep each night
Manage stress to help control appetite and recovery
