Do both: Except a little more walking, crunches every other day, and figure out if you're taking in more calories than you're expending

Do both.: The exercise will help use up energy and burn off some of the fat. The crunches will help strengthen the abdominal muscles and tone of the abdomen so that it looks really good.

Weight loss: Hi, how about starting to decrease your Calorie intake, Carb and fat intake, increase fiber intake and activity. Although none of these guarantee that you lose the fat belly, because the weight would be lost throughout the body but certain exercises could help.

Belly Weight: There is no real secret to weight loss. Proper diet, regular exercise (including cardio and ab crunches) are the key to getting the body shape you desire. There are many diet plans out there and most of them work if you stick to it as long as you are still getting the nutrition your body needs. So they key is to really just stick to a proper diet and exercise regimen.

Spot fat loss does: not occur naturally. By losing weight in general some will probably be abdominal fat. But, we don't get to choose what area of body fat is lost from. Eat healthy & be physically active. Calories burned must > those consumed. Tighten ab's: crunches, reverse crunches, exercise ball crunches, pelvic thrusts, lying leg raises, side bridge & “bicycling” exercise on back. Do regular aerobic exercise.
