    This.

    Also, women generally struggle with removing this lower belly fat because it's in our genes to have it. For baby-making, the fat down there helps protect the womb.

    Bottom line: just reduce your body fat overall.

    And for the record, every man i know loves the curve of that area. I haven't met a man who likes women who doesn't.

    So, you know, I wouldn't worry about it over-much. If that's an interest or concern of yours.

    Suck your stomach in as you work out - particularly as you plank.

    Super flat is definitely less sexy than a nice curve. In general, but especially in that area.
