Also consider non-exercise energy expenditure. This is considered to burn the most calories per day. Therefore try to walk more, take the stairs always etc. This will help you reduce weight without even trying and often is the only form of exercise a severely obese person can do.

Also spot fat reduction is a scam. So expect that you can't only burn fat in your belly and chin. Fat will be burned from everywhere in your body. So it will come out of chin and belly too.
