Increasing NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) is key to losing fat. This means if you work out once a day, that shouldn't be the only time you get in exercise. Move your body throughout the day, whether it's walking while having a phone meeting, taking the stairs instead of the lift, doing a five-minute afternoon stretch session, standing at your desk, or biking to the store. Increasing NEAT will increase your metabolic rate, burning more daily calories, helping you lose weight.
