Stubborn belly fat isn't just annoying when you're trying to get into a new pair of jeans; excess visceral fat around your stomach can lead to health problems, particularly in women.

Whether you want to lose that excess belly fat for weight loss or health reasons (or heck, both) here are the sneaky culprits that are preventing you from shedding abdominal fat, plus some ways to combat it.
