Comment on Can I lose a beer belly working out one day a week?

you don’t even have to work out.
you can get there simply with diet.
that said, dieting doesn’t target where the fat comes from.
Core strength training (like sit ups, push ups, etc,) will help with muscle definition, and that can improve the appearance, but if you break down how much say, a pound of body fat is in excercise vs how much that pound is in hambergers… well. restricting calories will always be more effective for weight loss.
has your doctor said you need to lose weight? 130 pounds sounds not-overweight.

I know OP posted a specific question, but don’t forget that working out is incredibly good for your physical and mental health. You’ll feel stronger and more mentally resilient, and you can get rid of a surprising number of body pains.
You’ll also increase your energy levels, as counterintuitive as that seems.
