Most diet supplements that are sold over the counter can cause permanent damage to your metabolism by over stimulating your nervous system which causes your body to secrete excess stress hormones. Not only does this stop fat loss, but it causes fat to accumulate around your stomach.
These tips are backed by science so they work!
I suggest if you also do strength training then do that first then the cardio!
Burn more fat by doing cardiovascular work on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. If you want to burn even more fat try this booster as soon as you get out of bed. 1 cup of black coffee or at least 700MG of L-Carnitine.
You will burn a higher percentage of body fat exercising in the morning because your body’s carbohydrates are depleted and the hormonal state makes body fat more accessible.
Have 38 grams of fiber a day with high fiber veggies (not fruit it contains sugar) to boost fat burning. Fiber also keeps you feeling full and it helps stop blood sugar spikes. Keeping your blood sugar levels balanced is the key to accelerated fat burning and killing cravings.
The secret to faster fat loss is targeting more muscles. The more muscles you work, the more calories you will burn. If you activate fast twitch muscle fibers that will give you the greatest calorie burn. You can increase your fat burning  in less than 30 minutes with the right type of workout.
Workouts like Cross Fit and p90X  actually stop fat burning. Some of them are so intense that they can cause stress hormones to rise making your body store fat around your stomach or even worse, you can end up getting hurt. Only very few bodies can take this intensity and they are usually 20 and male with very quiet lives. Choose a safe program that’s not too easy or too hard that you can live on and hit it three times a week.
I recommend the Peak 8 routine. Google peak8. Peak 8 recommended by gymdandee  

The Peak 8 routine it will quickly raise your heart rate 8 times for very short bursts, with a cooling down period in between. Ideally you’ll be sprinting or cycling full throttle for 30 seconds with a 90 second cool down in between each outburst.

This is the fastest way to lose fat and build muscle in the body. Peak 8 actually stimulates the growth hormone in the body. I encourage you to visit Dr Mercola’s site to learn more about Peak 8 fitness because I personally feel that it is one of the best ways to exercise, especially considering the speed at which you can lose fat and build muscle.

I highly recommend you read this article and watch the videos on the page. It will give you all the information you need to know about Peak 8 – Flood Your Body With This “Youth Hormone” In Just 20 Minutes

What you eat after Peak 8 training does matter

It’s recommended that you do not eat sugar or carbohydrate for 2 hours after the Peak 8 exercise because these foods can impact the release of the growth hormone in the body.  The link is below

Figure your heart rate by this formula
The Karvonen Formula is a mathematical formula that helps you determine your target heart rate zone. The formula involves using your maximum heart rate (MHR) minus your age to come up with a target heart rate range (which is a percentage of your MHR). Staying within this range will help you work most effectively during your cardio workouts.

an example of the Karvonen formula for a 23 year old person with a resting heart rate of 65 beats per minute (*to get your resting heart rate, take your pulse for one full minute when you first wake up in the morning or after you've resting for a while). This formula also includes an updated calculation of maximum heart rate (the previous formula was 220 - age, which has now been shown to be inaccurate):

206.9 - (0.67 x 23 (age)) = 191
191 - 65 (resting heart rate) = 126
126 * 65% (low end of heart rate zone) OR 85% (high end) = 82 OR 107
82 + 65 (resting heart rate) = 147
107 + 65 (rhr) = 172
The target heart rate zone for this person would be 147 to 172

First thing in the morning before you get out of bed have a clock with a second hand and check your resting heart rate then figure your rate by the
Karvonen Formula above.

You burn 30 percent more fat from doing cardio after a weights session as opposed to cardio on its own.
As for the skin only surgery will fix that! Why not try a body shaper after
after you lose the weight. google woman's body shaper
