where

I'm skinny everywhere except on my stomach. My body thinks that when I diet to lose weight it's because I want to look like Skeletor, so the first place I lose fat from is my face and it becomes gaunt and looks unhealthy.

I've heard that could be a posture thing. If you sit like a shrimp, you're gonna have belly rolls, no matter how skinny you are.
I say, hunched over my keyboard like a gremlin.
- I think posture does have something to do with it, because when I stand up straight and tense my stomach muscles, I look a lot better. I suspect that the problem isn't so much that I have excess fat on my stomach (although I do have some) but rather that my stomach muscles aren't preventing my stomach from bulging out unless I'm deliberately focusing on keeping them tense. I think better posture can be made subconscious (or else why have adults always told children to stand up straight) but I don't think there's a way to keep the muscles tense subconsciously. Or is there?
  Speaking of posture, my new office chair has a significant forward curve at my lower back which I find uncomfortable. (I used to sit in an old-timey banker's chair with a back that sloped smoothly backwards.) Is that because my posture is bad? Am I supposed to be sitting in a way that conforms to that curve? I know some people who strap cushions to their car seats in order to add that curve. I find those cushions really uncomfortable too, but are those people actually on to something or are their backs just different from mine?
That’s just what bodies look like my dude. People with prominent ab muscles are severely/dangerously dehydrated and malnourished.
- I'm not expecting prominent muscles. I just don't want my stomach protruding like an inflated balloon even when the rest of me is bony.

Everyone has abs. Under there. Somewhere.

Under the butter...

Building ab muscles doesn’t burn belly fat, a six pack requires more than crunches.

Yeah, IDK if I have the energy to get abs.
I've got definition on my arms, back and legs, but the abs require effort I can't give yet. Plus an additional 15 lbs of fat and probably need all the excess skin removed.
As it stands the lifting and cardio are a lot. Changing it to HIIT 200+ minute a week is just not going to happen lol

I don't give a damn about defined muscles. I work out to offset the work in front of a computer, mainly to prevent back pain. I actually have quite decent abs underneath the chubby dad bod I am rocking. The knowledge that the muscles are there is enough for me.

I don't want defined abs; I just want my stomach to not look like a deflated tire.
- I am kind of worried about the internal belly fat, as it's supposed to be really bad for your health. I already got rid of a fatty liver through a proper diet, now I am working on getting rid of belly fat (again). In my opinion one should always do weight exercises, as muscles are always good. But they don't really help with getting rid of fat, which is ultimately what shapes your looks. Only managing your caloric intake can help with that.

1 whole hour? Oo

walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes to warmup
look at your phone while sitting in the toilet for 10 minutes
walk around looking at weights/machines for as long as you can until someone notices
pick an exercise with all the machines taken, stand around looking at phone until one frees up
1x8 with no weight to warmup
3x5 with a random amount of weight, 300 second rest
look at the time, if you have been there longer than 45 minutes, round up to one hour
drive through Wendy's for a large baconator combo on the way home. Diet coke though, we're trying to be healthy
- Was more meant as a joke, because an hour seemed really much to me - although it probably shouldn't
  But looking at your training plan, this looks much relaxed than I'd have expected
  Still, an hour is much commitment, respect

I look at it in the bathroom post-workout
