Tummy still fat after loosing one stone

I've lost one stone healthily and gradually and I've been doing abs pilates workouts regularly. BMI wise I think I need to loose another half a stone but my stomach is still so fat. I think if my goal was to have a flat stomach I would completely loose all my boobs and bum before that happened and I'd look skinny in all other areas.

Do I have to just accept that a flat stomach is unachievable for me?

When you say it’s fat, do you mean it’s soft and wobbly? That’s what mine looks like. It’s not actually that fat anymore now I have lost weight but the elasticity is gone in that main area, leading to it being soft and wobbly as the skin is no longer taught as it once was. If it’s the case it’s skin from pregnancy then only a tummy tuck would get rid of it completely. I think it’s normal. Mine is relatively poochy and wobbly naked but looks fine/flatter in something high waisted

Also remember that your body will get rid of the visceral fat around your organs before the outside stuff.
Maybe that extra half a stone is the where you'll lose the tum.

@Menora there's some jiggley fat at the front by the csection scar which I've made my peace with, I can't imagine that going without surgery. But the rest of it just petrudes so much...but when I breath in and suck it all in it looks like how I want. When I don't breath it in it looks like I'm 7 months pregnant.
