    While you can't necessarily target specific parts of your body, exercising and eating right should help you lose that extra weight in your chest. I would recommend cardio, like hiking or jogging 3-5 times a week. You should also incorporate some strength training like push-ups, deadlifts, or squats.

    Unfortunately, no. It may take as long to get rid of them as it took to get them — so if they developed over a period of months, it may take just as long to make them go away. The good news is, a young man your age can change his physique faster than any one else. Eat right. Consider the nutrition advice in the article here: How to Lose 50 Pounds in 2 Months

    Running will burn some extra calories, which will help get rid of that fat. To really see changes, add resistance training such as pushups and pull-ups twice a week and reduce calorie consumption, increase protein, reduce fats and sugars. Eat more vegetables!

    A diet you can follow is something you need to get from a registered dietician. Your doctor can refer you or check you local health centre or go online and be sure to find someone properly qualified. Personal Trainers can provide you with guidelines and advice as indicated in this article, and other Wikihow articles on weight loss, but if you are serious about eating right, it is recommended that you have a meal plan prepared by a dietician.

    Can not getting enough sleep affect body fat?
    Community Answer
    Lack of sleep can cause increased cortisol, which leads to less muscle and more fat. Ten hours is optimum, but is very hard and not generally possible with modern lifestyles, unless you are lucky enough to have a high-paying job that gives you a lot of free hours. Adequate sleep is a must for growing muscle and burning fat. Not getting a good amount of sleep can result in a wide amount of health deficits, particularly mental and energy ones.
