Walking, even if it’s at a moderate pace, for about 30 to 60 minutes every day can help you start to lose belly fat, according to Harvard Health Publishing.

To lose fat, you need to burn more calories than you eat, which creates a calorie deficit. Use an app or food diary to keep track of the calories you consume every day. Then draw up and exercise and diet plan to burn mire calories than you eat.

Count calorie burn

When you’re walking for fat loss, the amount you burn depends on your intensity and weight. Walking at 4 miles (6.44 km) per hour, one can expect to burn between 175 and 189 calories in a half hour, according to Harvard Health Publishing.

Be consistent

Researchers of a September 2014 study from the Journal of Exercise Nutrition & Biochemistry tracked walking habits across a 12-week period and found that women who walked three times per week (for 50 to 70 minutes at a time) lost weight.

Slowly increase intensity

You can increase your distance, speed or incline to boost your calorie burn. Increase your distance slowly if you are new to walking. Start with 5 or 10 minutes each day, then add a few minutes every week.

Vary your walks

Very your walks, switching between longer distances and shorter interval sessions. This will retain your interest and train both your aerobic and anaerobic metabolism for weight loss.

Eat healthy

Don’t forget to remember to eat healthy. A nutritious diet will help calorie-burning.
