You Like Beer.

It's not just beer and the carbs in beer that make that beer belly pop. All alcohol has calories. If you take in too many calories -- especially if you're not exercising and eating well -- you're going to pack on the pounds. If you drink, remember to do it in moderation.

Sports and Energy Drinks Fill Your Fridge.

Sports drinks can have a lot of sugar. That brings calories. If you drink too many of these, you're setting yourself up for weight gain that might end up around your beltline. Cut back on sugary, high-calorie drinks. That means energy drinks and non-diet sodas, too.

You're Not Drinking Enough Water.

Studies show that drinking more water can help you lose weight. Choosing H2O instead of sweetened drinks means fewer calories. That can help you trim that belly fat. It’s also the only beverage that can hydrate without adding sugars or other compounds.

Genetics.

Yes, your family tree affects your chances of obesity. It also has a say in where you store fat. Still, there is hope. Striking the right balance between how many calories you take in (your diet) and how many you burn (through exercise) can help keep you from gaining weight, despite your genes.

You're Not Sleeping Well.

Those nighttime raids on the fridge are diet killers. Not only that, if you're not sleeping, you're jump-starting stress hormones. Those encourage your body to keep fat.

Learn good sleep-time habits, like:

Put down the phone.

Turn off the laptop.

Go to bed at the same time each night.

Avoid alcohol before bed.

Get your exercise.

You're Obsessed With the Scale

Here's some good news: You might be losing that belly fat and not even realize it. If you're eating well and exercising right, remember that how your clothes fit -- measured by your waist size -- is more important than what the scale says. If that waistband is less snug, you may have replaced some belly fat with muscle.
