ok I am a 26 year ancient male that is 6′2 – 195 pounds.
I want to be 185 pounds.
If you were to look at me you would say I am skinny, except the 10 extra pounds ( beer gut ).
So what is the best way for me to lose the weight?
Should I just run? I heard cardio is the best way to burn stout, so should I run/bike/elliptical? or something else?

If you want to lose the gut and get rid of the stout around your stomach area you need to first reduce your calorie intake. Your goal will be to consume less calories, in the form of food and drink, than your body really requires, thus, making a calorie deficit. One pound of stout is the equivalent of 3,500 calories. If you split this down over the week that’s 500 calories per day you need to be eating less of. Achieve this and you will loose one pound of stout per week.
To loose more than one pound of stout per week, you can loose even more body stout by engaging in exercise. Examples include cardio such as running, biking, swimming, rowing, etc. You can also engage in resistance training which will help make the muscles stronger and firmer, and will also burn additional calories. Remember, the more lean muscle tissue you have on your body, the more calories you will burn on a daily basis, even at rest.
You can perform abdominal exercises to help tone up your stomach area, like crunches and situps. But just remember, stomach exercises will NOT burn stout. They will indeed make your abdominal muscles stronger and firmer, but they will not burn stout. To burn stout, you need to be looking at your diet, and cardio, as mentioned above.
Through a combination of diet and exercise you could expect to loose around 1-2 pounds per week. This will allow you to achieve your 10 pound weight loss goal in around 5 weeks.
Excellent Luck!
