There is no way to target one particular area of your body for loss of
subcutaneous fat, no matter what diets or excercise toys you see on late
infomercials. Your particular distribution of body fat is as genetically
determined as your hair color.

Without liposuction, you can get rid of the subcutaneous fat (not any loose
skin) by losing weight until it's gone, but if you gain weight back, you
will reaccumulate body fat and it will go preferentially to the same
abdominal area because those fat cells are still there. The only way you
will permanently get rid of your "gut" is to get rid of the actual fat
cells -> liposuction.
