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.

Create Caloric defic: Extra fat on our body means excess of Energy/fat which requires you to create a negative balance in order to lose weight.So you need to eat less and exercise(increased activity) more . Start looking at the calories in the foods that you eat Avoid high caloric foods(fried foods, fast foods) and cut down on sweets/sugars from your diet ,and move yourself more than you do now...you will lose the fat!
