Ok so this is currently my main problem when it comes to my body - I am not overweight, I managed to get my belly into proper size, but that's the thing that stays - the muffintop. Does anyone here have some good advice on what kind of exercise, diet or liposuction that could get rid of those.
Oh, Christ. :bleeding:
Figure out what I do, then do the opposite.
Hate to say it, but a muffin top is fat, plain and simple. You might fit into skinny trousers or have a healthy BMI, but if you've got a roll of fat at the sides you have to reduce your body fat percentage. The best way to do that is full-body weight training, heavy weights, low reps. Ditch isolation exercises, like biceps curls and crunches, and instead do barbell squats, deadlifts, power presses, push-ups etc. If you want something to use at home, get yourself a kettlebell, which will come with a set of exercises. Even if you only do swings, it's a great start.
Some friends swear by New Rules of Lifting, here's the first beginner's workout:

For a core exercise with a cardio element, you can't beat plank-to-pushup or mountain climbers.
Run at least a few times a week, eat less fat and sugar.
What Brazen said mostly. Cut bread and sugar. Intermittent fasting has worked very well for me for this particular thing. Google it.
Fasting and lovely tea.
Ditch the sugar, grains and all the rancid vegetable oils (soy, corn, canola). Eat Paleo-style and do what Brazen commands. That's how I got rid of the blubber. But the overall effects have been so good on my mood and sleep that at this point the weight loss is just an ancillary benefit. But the best excercise plan in the world won't help you if you eat crap. Body composition is 80% your diet I'd say.

Because licking spray cream off a priest's kneecap is highly calorific.
Decrease your caloric intake to about 500 calories under maintenance, do exercise and cardio, sleep 8-9 hours per day.

Pretty sure I've heard women use the term here in the US.
@ OP, It probably means you have some terrible disease.

Weird. I've heard "pear" and "pear-shaped", but not muffintop. Sounds like something related to pubic hair.
Are you pear-shaped, Martinus? Is that's what's bothering you?
Drink some of Pope's blood. He was pretty thin, IIRC.
WTF we've talked about muffintops before. Trolling?

The fat that overflows the top of your waistband. You know, muffintop-like.

I don't wear tight jeans, so my belly fat doesn't look like that.
Why do fat people wear tight jeans?

Toni had the right of it. There are gay people out there into all body types and shapes. And considering that Mart pays for his young men - I don't think what he looks like plays a big factor.
I modified it.
I thought bears were ideally burly, muscular types.

Well, presumably gays would be more interested in Channing Tatum than Jonah Hill, right?
Channing Tatum is a bear? :huh:
Why don't you explain what you're saying instead of using Yicratic method when it's clear that I know less about the subject matter than you do. :hmm:
What I said already. Pretty sure my post before last had a statement in it.
You said bears are big and hairy. But still, aren't the ones who are burly biker ass-kicking types gonna get more play than ones who look like fuzzy beach balls?
