Weight loss: You can't spot reduce fat, so there is no way (besides surgical liposuction) to target specific areas for weight loss. The best option is a healthy diet and regular exercise to lose weight and as the pounds come off you'll notice a difference in those areas of concern.

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.
