Holistic v specific: There are no specific points that will uniformly do this. Acupressure/acupuncture point selection is primarily based on a more holistic appraisal of a persons health imbalances. Point selection then may indirectly effect metabolism such that weight loss in general is more successful when combined with a healthy eating and exercise program.

Abdominal fat: I practice acupuncture (which uses similar points). I know of no way via acupuncture, acupressure or any method to preferentially lose abdominal fat (other than plastic surgery).
