A: First, it depends on how lean you already are -- at some point you will hit pretty much a wall in your fat loss when simply no matter what you do you are not losing fat at any appreciable rate. If you are a guy and do everything right, then typically this will happen after you start seeing your six-pack. But sooner or later it does happen to everyone. So it's possible you've just reached that point -- I can't tell for sure without more info about you. If you have reached this point, I recommend simply maintaining your current healthy lifestyle, continuing to exercise and over years your body will continue to lean out -- it just won't happen very fast.

The second thing is, of course, to REALLY optimize your diet and training. Try to squeeze in 1-2 more meals/day (keeping the overall calories and protein/carbs/fats where they're now of course). Make sure the foods you eat really are top-notch: drop pastas, bread, rice and add lots and lots of green veggies instead. Start whole-body progressive weight-training -- this will make a big difference. Whole-body means all the major body parts get exercised! Unless you have a medical reason, your training routine should consist of exercises like squats, lunges, deadlifts, bench presses, rows, pullups and pulldowns -- all performed to or near failure in 6-12 reps per set. If you're currently doing more than 2-3 hours of cardio per week, cut that down in parallel with taking on heavy whole-body weight training. Add high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to your exercise routine: do very short intense cardio sessions where you go all out. You start out doing four 30-second intervals of high intensity cardio (basically, sprinting) each of which is followed by 30 seconds of relaxed walking. So your session goes like: 30 second sprint, 30 second walk, 30 second sprint, 30 second walk, 30 second sprint, 30 second walk, 30 second sprint, 30 second walk. You do this 2-3 times a week and add another interval with every passing week, building up to 15 per session or so.

Losing those last bits of fat is hard, so you will need to make sure you do all the little things right.
