@TGHusker congrats on the weight loss, dieting and exercises.
Fiber. In particular, try eating more soluble fiber to reduce belly fat.
These have the most soluble fiber content - Black beans, Lima beans, Kidney beans. Drain, rinse, store them in refrigerator containers. Or mix them together in storage. About 1/3 of a cup to 1/2 cup will benefit a lot. Add beans to salads or eat cold or cooked. Also, drink plenty of water after eating beans to aid in digestion and stomach cramping, etc. Really works. And will keep you feeling full longer.
Vegetables, Root and Fruit that are high in SF but not nearly as high as the beans - Brussel Sprouts, Avocados (fruit), broccoli, Sweet potato (root), carrots, flax seeds (nuts) and of course oates and barley.
Also, pickles (and pickle juice) is a helpful food suppressant, because of the vinegar. And may help you go a few hours without food. Cafe/Coffee is also pretty good suppressant.
Portion control is very important. Eat small meals of course.
OMAD is achievable. Just make sure you keep the calories 1500 - 1700. (One Meal A Day). It doesn't mean eat 3 big hamburgers and plate of carbs in one meal.
Have you considered fasting salts ? Here is a link. Provides the electrolites without sugar that will keep you from feeling weak or light headed when you deny yourself food for 18 hours a day... or 24 hours... or 48 hours straight abstaining from food (self-starving).

And two more suggestions.
Sauerkraut has a ton of healthful benefits. You should eat a spoonful - one big bite a day - right out of the jar and from the fridge. Twice a day would be great.
Exercise, walking routine and simple calisthenics. Think of yourself as in boot camp. Put your gear on. Do simple basic body stretches for legs and mid-section. Standing up squats (no weights), There are plenty of stretching exercises that you can easily do for 10 minutes every morning before your first walk.
Walking and Bicycle riding are great for the belly/mid-section area.
Walking - do three increments of 15-25 minutes of walking per day instead of one long walk for an hour. It will make an impact. Stopping and starting when walking also helps. Perhaps stop to tie your shoes after every 5 minutes.
