Need help getting rid of a spare tyre...
Discussion
No, not some dodgy Chin Wang remould, but the man spare tyre. I'm sure this has been covered but as usual the Search is borked so i'll ask again.
Bit of background:
I'm 34. Over the last 3 years I've lost 27kg by eating properly and exercising more. However I've now started hitting the gym a lot more in the last 2 months. I'm 6ft 3 and now weigh 92kg with quite a lot of muscle mass.
Pilates 5 times a week to strengthen my back (slipped disc 5yrs ago), then i go to the gym 5 or 6 times per week for around an hour. Generally do around 500 calories-worth of cardio on the treadmill and rowing machine (according to my Polar HRM), then alternate weights on different body areas.
I've managed to really build up well and am really happy with my arms, back, legs, chest etc, they're getting to be where i'm really happy with the way they look (plenty of toned muscle). The only bit that is a real b
h to shift is my spare tyre.
I sit at a computer all day, but since going to the gym i'm eating around 1600 calories per day of all healthy stuff. Lots of protein and veg. Little carbs.
Is there anything specific I can do to remove the spare tyre? I just thought that as I lost more weight it would go but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Thanks in advance.

Sure.
Brekkie: big bowl of muesli, banana cut up in it, skimmed milk. Yakult. Glass of OJ.
Lunch: Varies. Ham sandwich (4slices whole meal bread)/super noodles/leftovers.
Dinner: curried veg, prepared with small amount of olive oil, rice / chicken veg and pesto / veg omelette.
Usually have an apple during the day, and drink about 6 litres of water.
Worth noting that I live in Delhi so healthy food is rather limited.
I think one issue is that after work, gym then shower its gone 9 before we eat, and then we're in bed by 10:30.
