Really, anyone who has really worked out will tell you that losing that stomach fat equals only one thing, DIET. I always laugh when I see guys at the gym doing sit ups while holding weights or medicine balls. This does NOTHING. All you're doing is increasing the size of the stomach, because it's a muscle. Area work does not get rid of fat, only dieting does. Of course, exercise speeds this up, but it's only about 15% of the actual process of getting cut. You can't dictate where it goes away from either, your body takes it away as it takes it away, everyone is different in that regard. Some people lose from the arms first, others the stomach, the only way is to diet and exercise, diet being primary.
