Having said that, I don't think removing excess flab through surgery would be haram, since you can do that just by exercising anyway. That's just an easier path.

Its not that simple at all. Theres much more overlap between cosmetic and therapeutic surgeries than you're describing. And already, from your comment and the hadiths that were brought up, theres a subjective allowance for cosmetic surgery
