i used to have pretty ripped abs (then stopped working out...)
here's what i did... i'm not sure how strong your core is right now, so depending on where you are starting from, you might have to make adjustments in sets/reps/resistance:
5 sets, 20-25 repetitions each: declined sit ups with 10-25 lb plates.
you lie on the declined bench (angle, about 30-45 degrees?) so your head is lower than your feet. Then you hold the weight parallel to your body at chest level. I would do 1 regular sit-up, then 1 sit up twisting to the left, followed by 1 sit-up twisting to the right and that would be one repetition. I would do this every day.
After a while, this will give you the muscle. But, you also have to tone to get the 'cut' look so you can SEE the muscle. You said you're skinny so this shouldn't be so hard. Cardio exercise is good for this. I highly recommend paddling - I did outrigger canoe paddling but not sure if that would be available in your area. Swimming is also good - especially butterfly stroke. If you're in snow country, I'm guessing snowboarding would do good too but I have to admit I've never tried it.
Definition on the lines of 6 packs takes time to build so be realistic with your expectations. It is absolutely possible, though, especially with your body type (sounds similar to mine) from what you say.
Good luck!

Yes, it's normal. For two reasons: when you relax, gravity takes over, thus moves toward the ground. Second reason: you still have some fat there hiding all that definition.
