I could probably find tons of such information on Google, but what is the truth?

Is there any "official" suggested method of reducing belly fat? For example,
ways advised by doctor.

I have serious belly fat problem.

We cannot give medical advice on PF. Thread is closed.

However, because money and profit are involved in supplements, specialty diets, etc. - you are correct.
Bogus information abounds out there.

So to help you make decisions:
Go to NIH and do search for DASH diet to give you an idea of what medical people consider reasonable dietary choices are.

If you can read medical articles NIH has a repository with a daunting number of publications on weight loss.

So try for the dash diet:
NIH: dash diet
Weight loss:
NIH: weight loss for patients

Your health care provider's opinion is your best choice.

Also, as pointed out by @Astronuc (thank you )

OP wants to lose belly fat. There is no known diet that does this specifically because it a genetic/environment trait, like steatopygia. Weight will decrease fat deposits anywhere. As a general statement.

Cause of where fat is deposited:
Preexisting adipocytes, which were formed early on in your life, dictate the location of future fat deposits on your body.
