How To Treat Bloating Of Stomach And Constipation?

Hi i'm a 29 year old female; 1m55 tall and around 55-57 kgs. ive had bloating in stomach and lower abdomen since a couple of weeks ago. I thought it might have been due to indigestion but im trying to eat healthy and i workout a lot. The bloating is there when i wake up and lasts trough the whole day...sometimes it gets better in late afternoon but there is still a little bloating. I have never had this condition before but i do have gas problems quite often and i usually take digestion pills for it to go away but even this is not really helping. Also i have been a little constipated lately..Please help...i look terrible with this bloated abdomen and my clothes wont even fit sometimes. Thank you
