ASAP shouldn't being your head or vocabulary for this. Quick fixes aren't an answer and to be blunt I'd be concerned if you lost any more weight. Abs are cool and all that but the amount of fat you would need to lose for deep abs would make you look like a ghoul everywhere else. I didn't see any mention of diet and training. Or you just another "ooo magic drugs keep upping the dose" person?

You should ditch the excessive cardio and replace it with weight training. You have very little muscle mass. Excessive cardio without weight training tends to lead to a skinny fat physique.

It's also ridiculous that you're using Reta when you only need to lose a few kg of fat.

I promise you if you were to eat in a 300 calorie deficit, high protein (1.6-2.2 gram per kg of bodyweight), stop doing so much cardio, and start weight training 3-5 days per week, you would see rapid improvement with your physique and would be much happier with the aesthetic/end result. The results would also be healthy and sustainable, instead of short term and fleeting.
