How do people know their amount of body fat?

Like I see people saying “I have 10% body fat and I would like to get down to 7%”. How do they measure it?

Is losing body fat genetic or is their really a limit on how much you can lose?

I work out extremely intense in my cardio and strength training, and I stay away from fried foods and junk foods, sodas, juices, I drink lots of water, I’ve been doing all of these qualites for 8 months now. I STILL have a “tummy pooch”, “baby gut” or whatever you want to call it. Anyway, is their REALLY a limit on how much body fat your body will let you lose? Is this hereditary on how much your body fat will go down? No matter how much cardio for how long and how intense, my pooch will not go down. Frustrating.

How Do Body Builders Reduce Their Body Fat Percentage To Such A Small Number?

I workout 5 times a week, and generally consume a net caloric amount of less than 1000, and what I do eat is very healthy.
So, I’m basically wondering how body builders shift so much body fat before building muscle.
Thanks!
