What to do at the gym to lose weight? More details below.?

I am currently 25 years old and I weigh about 245-250 pounds and I am about 5'10 1/2. I have a gym membership at my local 24 hour fitness, and I am wondering what I should do to lose weight?

Now I know if you do the same stuff over and over, your body gets used to it thus eventually you'll stop losing weight.

I also know that if you work out too much, you can hurt yourself which is why you should rest for one day, go to the gym the next day, rest the next, so on, so forth. I'm not even sure if this is even correct...

So what is the best way to lose weight by yourself? What should I do at the gym? I usually go and do the elliptical for a mile, then walk a mile then I am done.

One thing that really bothers me, is my gut. I have a huge gut. My entire body is in good shape, except for my gut. My gut isn't that flabby fat gut. It's that hard gut that bulges out but doesn't really droop down like fat. When I eat, it looks like I am 9 months pregnant, like it gets hard and it bulges. I dunno what kind of fat that is but yeah...I can also suck in and make it look like I don't have a gut. I want to no longer continue to suck in...been doing it for years. I want to just relax my stomach...but when I am not sucking in, it's really embarrassing because it just bulges out like I am pregnant. I want it gone...(anyone knows what kind of fat that is?)

So there lies my question. How can I get rid of it....thank you very much for taking the time to answer my fat question.

    My belly was huge so I looked like I was pregnant. My waist to hip ratio a skyhigh 0.96 (dangerous visercal fat which is due to processed fructose - sugar is half glucose/half fructose - check the video below). My high sugar diet caused severe insulin resistance (fat storing/no fat burning). I lost 14 kg getting rid of all the added sugar in my diet (had to take magnesium to correct my deficiency - that deficiency was the cause of my severe sugar cravings - particularly chocolate).

    I just joined the gym actually and do the circuit which is like a dozen different machines to build muscle (one way to improve your insulin sensitivity not to mention muscles burn calories at rest). I also do cardio but I do that to improve my stress levels. Having walked hours a day for a job I found out the hard way I could not outwalk insulin resistance.

    you will lose more calories in the kitchen. You need to plan your meals. And avoid sugar at all costs.

    whatever diet you choose, low carb, low fat etc....the most important of both is to drastically reduce processed sugar and total calories

    Jump rope, sit ups, tread mill, yoga. Drink lots of water and clean non-processed foods.
