The research into probiotics in regards to "belly fat" is minimal at best and IIRC is almost entirely based on women at some point after pregnancy.

Kefir is a type of cultured dairy product.

This belly fat that you're conflicted with, how "much" is there and what is your overall body composition, age, gender, diet and exercise regularity? If you don't want to share that with the world, I understand. I'd be happy to get a PM, though others might learn from this.
