Walking will help you lose weight everywhere including your stomach. Interval walking (walking up hills occasionally or speeding up for a few minutes at a time) can trim belly fat very effectively.

If you are an undereater, you could be in ketosis which makes you feel not hungry even though you're in desperate need for fuel. Hopefully exercise will increase your appetite because not eating can make you gain and/or hold onto weight as well as overeating. I became overweight eating only one meal a day!

If you go to a calorie counter, it will help you determine how many calories your body needs to function optimally without compromising your metabolism. For losing weight, it's AT LEAST 1200 before exercise and when you exercise you need to eat more. Your current weight and height will likely give you a higher calorie range for losing weight at first. And you really do need to eat so your body doesn't think it needs to hold onto reserves just to survive.

Another thing you can do is some kind of resistance training. A lot of your muscles are probably dormant and reactivating them will get them burning fat more efficiently.

All the best!
