I think this is an humbling yet important question.
Can you see your abs?
If the answer is no - it's time to do some work.
If you want to be successful in the dating market, you must be fit.
Heck - being fit can also improve more than the dating market.
It can also improve your performance at work, your friendships, your finances.
The halo effect is real - that people who are attractive get better treatment.
If you lose some of that stubborn fat, you can increase your attractiveness a few points.
And that will have MASSIVE repercussions.

Here's the 3 main things I did which helped me become lean.
First, lift weights consistently every week. Any program will work - just stick to it.
And track your progress. Every week you should be increasing your weights.
Second, get at least 10k steps per day. Track your steps with a FitBit Inspire 3 or Amazon Fit Band 7.
Third, only eat "real" food. I.e. food which God gave us. Not food made my factories and corporations.
I'll finish the post out with a list of approved "real" foods.
If your diet consists of 80-100% these foods, you can get lean without ever tracking a calorie.
Here's the list. Deus Vult
