Exercises can tone muscle, strengthen muscle and even build muscle size, but they will do very little to change body fat. Also, 20-30 minutes 4 times a week won't be enough to see big changes fast, but if kept up over a long time, they can help you feel healthier, stronger, and more in control of your body.

You must count calories. This requires time and great perseverance. If it is really tough for you, you may have bad habits that you are having trouble breaking. Write down every single thing you put in your mouth and how much. Once you have done this for a few weeks, look back at your records to figure out what you can change to get rid of those excess calories.

Can you see the top of your shoe? If not, you are doing the squat improperly. See an exercise expert such as a personal trainer to learn to do a modified squat properly. If there is still a problem, try lunges and straight leg lifts instead.

For most of us, this is just a matter of body fat around that waist.
