I lost most of my theres 7LB weight of pregnancy leave, which is great but now I have to burn the fat left in the midsection. also because the skin is not stretched taut over there and I can see that when the fat goes there will be a bit of a wrinkle of skin from weight loss. not a lot all just a bit to get strong again? (skin) that occur while still build muscle there?

Low Carb Dieting Tip
Your rate of metabolism dictates how many calories you burn. Heredity, gender, age, body size. diet and nutrition, activity level, and your overall health factor in on determining how high or low your metabolism is. It is normal for metabolism levels to lower as a person ages. Because of this it is important to begin stepping up your exercise routines in your thirties and forties.
Brisk walking or swimming are good. Or utilize exercise equipment (exercise bike, treadmill, or elliptical trainer).
Ways to Boost Your Metabolism
Eat Regularly - Eating 5-6 small meals throughout the day will give you energy throughout the day–helping you to burn calories. Whereas, calories eaten during larger meals tend to get stored as fat.
Maintain a Balanced Diet - Not only how often you eat is important, but your food choices are equally as important. Nurture you body with the appropriate balance of protein and carbs.
Eating whole foods rather than processed food gives your digestive system a workout that burns calories. For example: choose an apple over apple juice.
Workout with Weights - Building muscle mass will replace stored fat. As you build muscle tissue your metabolism increases.
Don’t Forget Cardio - You need to get that heart rate up and breathe a little heavier. Twenty to thirty minutes of cardiovascular activity 5 days a week is recommended.

YOu reduce your caloie intake to a safe level that is below the intake needed to maintain your current weight. While doing this you also strength train. This combo helps insure you burn fat and not lose muscle.
Low carb diets are not the answer. You need carbs, you need protein, and you need healthy fats.
