Your extra flesh on belly and hips is very likely extra skin too. The weight lifting should help.
At least I hope so, I am doing the same 😉

I am in the exact same situation. I am 3lbs from my goal and I'm not even close to looking like I did the last time I weighed this much.

Most guys that have extra fat in the gut area are carrying visceral fat. As sub-q fat tends to fall off pretty evenly, when you see a guy that seems to be carrying all their weight in the stomach area, that is usually what you are seeing. Without more information or pictures we can't really know for sure, that was just my assumption.

Facing the same problem. Targeting visceral fat will accomplish very little, especially when it comes to love handles. Your love handles are not being pushed outward by the fat under your ribs.
I've concluded that the best way to lose this subcutaneous belly fat and love handle fat is to just become really lean and build muscle so I don't end up looking scrawny. Being very lean has other health benefits. But there's a lot of work ahead in this approach.
I confess also that I find myself intrigued by products like Lemon Bottle and deoxycholic acid. I was initially creeped out by the notion of chemically killing fat cells, but I'm starting to rationalize it more and more and thinking it may be an option at some point.
Then there's this other thing called cryolipolisis, or "Cool Sculpting" which I find fascinating. Kills fat cells by freezing them at 40 degrees F while keeping water-based cells unharmed (since they freeze at 32F).
Not sure if there are options beyond this.
