My spouse is Korean so I eat rice very often.  It won't harm you unless, like anything else, you eat too much.  Then it will just make you gain fat.

For the rest you can eat whatever you want.  You just have to not eat more calories than you burn.  You can join the website myfitnesspal for a lot of tools to help in tracking your calories.

Track your calories - what you're eating and what you're burning. You can't outrun a poor diet. You either have to eat less or eat better quality food that makes you feel fuller, longer.

Well rice in itself is ok but imo there also should be some nutritions like oils, vegetables and fruit... a healthy combination, possibly organic...

water should be healthy, if possible not carbonated... and cutting on high sugar drinks...

concerning belly its possible after a few months there is a redestribution of fat... so it grows more on the hips...
if it distributes by itself or if its necessary to work the belly off a bit by exercises like walking should be shown over time imo...
