How Can Waist Size Be Reduced?
I am a 74 year old male, in good physical condition. I have been working out three times per week for several years, and my weight is steady for more than five years. In the past six months, My waist has grown by approximately two inches, although my weight (147) has remained the same. Any suggestions for reducing my waist size? Thanks..

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You may want to do exercises that target the abdominal region to see if these help with your abdominal girth.
In addition, you would need to determine if the increase is related to any other factors such as bloating.
If bloating is present, it may be due to use of gas producing foods, lactose intolerance, GERD , constipation or food intolerance.
I hope this helps
