Everyone has made very good points here. I'll add a few things that I've done myself that I feel work well for targeting the midsection as well as overall BF loss.
Diet:
Diet is the key component to to fat loss. I read you say that cookie cutter diets with chicken and broccoli. Well there is a reason why it's used so much. Chicken has lean protein with very little fat to it. It is a very versatile meat that you can pretty much cook it any style minus fried and still be eating clean. Who doesn't like grilled chicken? Baked chicken with a mustard and garlic glaze? chicken fajitas with chopped tomatoes cilantro peppers and onions Whole wheat tortillas? There's lots of ways to cook it and stay within the "clean" boundaries.
cardio:
cardio is mission critical. Without it you will never reach your goal. Research fasted cardio. It's proven to target fat cells and if you're holding most of your BF in your midsection then take a guess where cardio will target? Yep the midsection.
Also research HIIT high intensity interval training and endurance cardio. Find which one your body responds best to. Just know that cardio is a must. Here is an example of what I use when trying to drop bf: 40minutes 7days a week fasted. 4-6 minutes brisk walk followed by 2minutes jog(warm up) then 2 minutes full sprint followed by 2 minutes jog. Repeat over and over for a full 40minutes. It's a great way to start my day and is a lot harder than it sounds. Do this on the street or he treadmill. Either way fully committ to giving the sprint part 100%. If you're going to walk then always make sure you are walking in an elevated location like a neighborhood with lots of hills or raise the treadmill to its highest incline. Make it a challenge every session.
Hgh and peptides:
Hgh will promote fat loss as will certain peptides like HGH Frag and CJC w/ and w/o dac. Hgh will do so if you are framing your feed times around your injections and workout times. Hgh has natural fat loss benefits by breaking up fat stores which is only able to work if there insulin is not present. insulin is released with all macro nutrients but carbs cause the release most. So diet is huge here. If your goal is to build muscle then eat before and after your HGH injections. If your goal is to burn fat then you need to avoid calories a couple hours before and after your Hgh injections. cardio is a must here as well. Here's why. The Hgh breaks up fat stores and add in cardio. The body will need fuel. With the absence of calories or insulin the body will then turn to the loose fat cells to power itself. That is basically how it works in simple mans terms.
HGH Frag 176-191 is basically the most potent weight loss peptide in the market and I've used it successfully in the past. It's a hard pep to run because of the diet restrictions. HGH frag is a fragment of the HGH molecule that is responsible for weight loss. So everything I just wrote above is how HGH frag works as well. It breaks up fat stores and with a diet targeting injection times and fasted cardio the body will use the loosened fat stores for fuel when it cannot find insulin. Again 2-3 hours pre injection no food and 2-3hours post injection no food with cardio in the middle. It is easiest to do this in the early am. Wake up early and do not eat anything. Inject 250mcg before hitting the road or treadmill. Finish cardio and do not eat until a full 2-3 hours after your injection. Also do another 250mcg injection before bed. Make sure it is 2-3hours after your last meal. It's a challenge to maintain this diet so it truly has to be something you are completely focused and prepared to do.
CJC 1295 w/dac and cjc1295 w/o dac are GHRH growth hormone releasing hormones. They are peptides that stimulate the pituitary to release the body's natural GH hormone. They cause elevated GH levels and therefore help with fat loss. the dac is essentially their ester. W/ dac means it has a half life of around 8 days. w/o dac has a half life of around 30minutes. So which is better? W/o dac is said to be the way to go since it causes pulses of GH release while w/dac can cause a bleed of GH. Is it true? Fuck if I know read up on it lol! I used w/o dac just to be safe. W/dac and diet considerations. With such a long half life there really is no need to alter your diet to revolve around injection times. W/o dac does require specific feed times and they basically mirror the HGH frag feed times and cardio times. I ran a HGH frag and CJC 1295 w/o dac stack. It fucking kicked ass with weight loss and BF loss. I injected the cjc1295 3x daily @100mcg each injection.
I probably shouldn't have given so much info on Hgh and peptides cuz it's not a joke messing with compounds like that. It requires massive amounts of research and the ability to process the info out there to make safe and responsible decisions for yourself. But mind you that if a person has the discipline and knowledge there are tools out there to assist with weight loss and fat loss. If you notice everything about the peps and Hgh revolved around diet specifics and cardio. Without them the hgh and peps won't do shit. It's all going to hinge on hard work and discipline. Hopefully a little bit of this helps you out brother.
