My weight is concentrated in abdominal region - look very pregnant. I am walking 5-6 km everyday in effort to lose the weight to get hernia repaired so I can work on my core, but my belly pulls my back forward even when walking. Don't know what to do or what I can do. If I didn't have hernia, I could work on tightening up the core /stomach muscles and do different exercise to get the weight off. (75 lbs) Anyone have knowledge or experience in this area, please?
