Unresolved Diastasis Recti 16 months Postpartum

Hi all!

I have been working on my upper abdominal diastasis recti for over a year now. I started out with a very deep (almost up to my 3rd knuckle) 5 finger gap and have worked my way to a 2.5 finger gap about 2 knuckles deep. I have done all the beginner moves (heel slides, side planks, bear hovers etc) and have worked my way up to more moderate exercises (bridges with weights, advanced heel taps, dead bugs with weights etc) with breathing correctly and no coning/doming. I went to physical therapy and was told I was working out appropriately and I "graduated" after only 2 sessions. I am currently on my last week of fitness blender reboot.

I have done all this but I can't understand why my gap is still so large. Are there any miracle exercises/programs out there? I workout religiously and would 100% commit to any exercises! It's just overall so frustrating to work on this for so long without making great progress. Maybe it just takes so long to heal since my gap was so large?

Any advice would be much appreciated!
