Answer 1

You don't need to necessarily lose weight. You can be your height and be 220,and look great. But you must gain muscle mass.
If you gain muscle mass and then do high rep low weight exercises the muscle you've gained will help burn the fat and use it as fuel.
Do alot of Cardio too. Sweating helps reduce water retention which also looks like fat. If you dropped to 145 by what ever math you did your calculating by you'd be so skinny you would have to tie your legs into knots to make knee caps.. If you want ripped abs doing crunches will build muscle on your abs but won't necessarily burn fat in that area. You want to tone,and do cardio. If you do this you'll get the abs your looking for.
But yes you still need to do the sit ups and crunches.
