So if I continue with skateboarding (my cardio) and a healthier diet, along with sit-ups, I can lose the weight? For reference, I'm 5'8" and 140lbs.
Tips for losing skinny fat? I noticed I'm gaining some weight on my stomach...

Celery and water diet for 6 months and I guarantee that you'll lose the fat bro.

Really want to lose the weight?
Run a 750mg/day routine of DNP, and you will lose that stubborn fat quickly and look great.
Plenty of cardio helps speed things along.

you can get to any weight on diet alone, height and weight doesn't matter. cardio just makes you lose weight faster (the longer you have an elevated heart rate, the more your body uses fat reserves for energy). not sure how good skateboarding is for cardio, but if your heart rate's up for an extended then whatever works for you.

Drink the fluid from glow light sticks.
I am not fucking kidding it gave me diarrhea for a couple of weeks and melted my fat off.

This sounds dangerous but fun.
Will my shit glow? What a party trick

Literally poison. There are plenty of info available regarding the high toxicity of dnp and the proximity between its effective dosage and toxic dosage.
If you're going to fraud, the 1st option should always be test. Nothing is safer than test, nothing comes even close to the amount of info on test, nothing is readily treatable by a med as test (if things go wrong). On the plus, it's one of the most effective drugs.

Here's the pasta:
I'm putting here some tips I wish I had read when I 1st started lifting. This is only a complement to sticky. Read the sticky.
A skinny fat beginner always have to make a choice between getting builtfat or getting skinny scrawny before actually getting fit. Yes, body re-composition will happen to some degree, but you got to have priorities (losing fat or building strength base) otherwise you won't get nice results. Lean bulk or cutting only 300 cal/day are memes if you haven't got any muscle on your frame. You can't eat the cake and have it.
So, there are basically two ways to go.
If you think you can afford a couple pounds and still won't look that bad. Best route for 6'2 and over:
> do beginner strength routine, full Zach mode for some months (4-6 months).
> startingstrength.com
> get your lifts to intermediate lv.
> switch to hypertrophy routine (PHUL, PPL etc) and start cutting.
I wouldn't recommend going past 20% bf. At 20% bf you won't look fit at all but still will take only some weeks to get around 15% (visible abs under good lightining etc).
If you think you cannot support looking flabby any more, lose fat. Best for 5'9 and under:
> lose weight until you look skeleton (about 12%bf)
> you should do some lifting (push-ups, chin-ups, etc everyday); you will notice some gains alread
> make use of this window to actually learn the lifts/get more flexible
> once you get low %bf, bulk hard (500cal) while on some beginner strength routine.
> startingstrength.com
> get your lifts to intermediate lv.
> switch to hypertrophy routine (PHUL, PPL, etc) and keep an eye on your diet. Start cutting again if needed.

Pasta 2/2:
Always bear in mind that you should progress on every train, feel better on a day to day basis, but you won't see significant results before 6 months to a 1 year of training (depending on your current fitness and height, mostly). Luckily, noob gains are always noticeable, tho.
Regarding routines: all routines are only as good as your effort in the gym. SS, Keethnabs SS, GSLP (all three 3-day full body), Lascek S&C Program, Candito's LP (both 4-day splits), ICF 5x5 (also 3-day full body); all these are good programs for a true beginner; they're all very much alike. I'm a big fan of Lascek S&C program bc I feel it has better recovery window, but this is personal experience talking. Reddit PPL isn't bad either, even tho it has lots of frivolous work for a beginner. Just pick one that fits your schedule and stick to it. The only famous beginner program I would not recommend is SL: it's much like the other, but progression scheme is horrid.
Put your max effort every time you hit the gym. This is what really matters.
Focus on the main compounds and getting your lifts up. Do your curls if you want big arms. Disregards youtube channels that every week posts a new meme "best exercise ever for...", "how to build bigger..." etc.
You'll only look like you lift after you stop being a novice; and you'll only stop being a novice once your lifts are respectable. Sure high volume has its place on hypertrophy, but high volume means moving lots of weight per training session; if you're doing 4x10 40kg squats, you're doing bitch weights/high reps - not high volume at all.
Nobody build a big chest at 1pl8; nor big shoulders at 30kg OHP; your arms won't look big if you're cheat curling 12kg.

Mine had a greenish/yellow color, not really glowing.
