Prednisone belly?

Hi all! I'm 6'1" and weigh about 226. Most of me looks pretty skinny except for my belly. I have a pretty big beer belly that won't go away bin trying to lose some weight. I want to get to 200 but I can't get my belly to budge. I've been told its do to the prednisone I've been on forever. Anyone else deal with this? Any ideas to make it go? I have gotten into cycling and dragging An extra 20 lbs up the hills sucks. If I lose weight it never seems to come from my gut. I don't like to work my gut out too much because them it seems to like to fight back and I start bleeding and hurting worse. I don't eat great but I don't eat horribly either. Lots of veggies, no soda. All I drink is water and unsweetened iced tea. I'm trying to find a nutritionist (any suggestions in the Phx,az area would be great). I'm just lost. I hate looking in the mirror at my belly and I hate that my pants/shirts seem to have a mind of their own around my gut. Please someone help! I know it's not a dire issue compared to everything else we deal with but it's really starting to "weigh" on me! Haha

Restricted diet and me don't play well together. I can't do it. I've tried to limit or stop eating certain things and it never lasts long.
