When you exercise one target area such as the stomach, do you lose weight all over or just in that specific area that loses weight and gets toned?

Calorie Burner: By exercising specific muscle groups, you effectively strengthen those muscles directly by hypertrophy. This leads to burning calories which in turn will have a weight loss effect on your entire body. To tone and strengthen other muscle groups, they would need to be targeted by other exercises. The increase in you body metabolism from your excercise continues even when your excercise is over!
