What helps for me is if someone throws a ball for me. Several times a week and soon my belly is not dragging on the floor!

Work out how much food you require to maintain your present weight each day. Then cut back carbs, up protein a little. Keep fats in diet at least 15% no less and eat at least 4 meals each day. Stick to non processed foods. You want to target around 1 pound of bodyweight each week.

Just the stomach-fat I guess
The tricky thing for a lot of people, and I fell into this trap myself a few years back is seeking "spot reduction", which basically doesn't exist. You hear a lot of articles and fitness social media types saying things like "blasting the belly fat" or "lose those love handles". The reality is, when you burn fat, you burn it from all over.
You'll probably have to just experiment with caloric surpluses and deficits to find the sweet spot for slow improvement. Unless you're on some "supplements", putting on muscle (or even retaining in some cases) at a caloric deficit isn't going to be possible, and "getting ripped" isn't going to be possible while in a surplus. It's the reason why a lot of body builders don't stay lean year-round and end up doing "bulking in the off season" and then "cut for competition".
