I need help/advice on losing belly fat (visceral fat)

My brother and sister just talked to me, concerned about my weight/amount of food I eat a day. Over the course of 5 (roughly) months.

I am a 6'2 - 24 yo male

I started at 120kgs/264lbs.

Lost 34kgs/74lbs.

I am currently 86kgs/189lbs.

I have been working out over the course of this time, running most mornings, building up a home gymish of weights and resistance bands, and working out most afternoons. I don't intend on bulking up by any means, but I just want to be a healthy, normal good weight and body size. I have been working on my arms, legs and core, trying to build my arms in particular, up in size.

I cut down my portion size and cut out sugar from my diet, and replaced them with a daily morning protein smoothie, fresh meals and non-processed meats. I am currently where I'd like to be body shape wise, in terms of being any smaller, and weight wise too. I don't want to lose anymore weight, and do want to flip it now in the other direction but there is one thing holding me back;

My stomach fat

I have been doing cardio, core and all over exercises, cut out all of the no no foods and it seems no matter what I do, I can't seem to make the little dorito bag reminder disappear. I know this is a long process of getting rid of it, since I spent most of my adolescent and adult life being overweight and inactive. My brother and sister think I need to start upping my proportions at say dinner time, or even in general. I am currently eating at a calory deficit (not necessarily intentional, just eating what feels right) to try and lose that last stubborn reminder of my past.

Honestly I wasn't saying they were wrong, but my whole point was that I didn't want to start eating more until I could have a flatish stomach, so if I get bigger it will be muscle and not accidentally add to the residual dorito bag. Their solution was check this sub, so here I am.

I need advice, help or anything really.
