People are mistaken when they say doing crunches will make your stomach smaller. It will make it stronger and you can get a 6 pack. But what does a 6 pack matter if you can see it because of a pot belly. You can not pin point a place on your body and lose weight there. The best way to cut stomach fat is just doing cardio and cutting down on calories. Sit-Ups will make your abs look good though when you shrink your stomach. Cardio, less calories, no crap food like cookies and no pop. Cardio a few days a week. You'll be good to go in a month or so depending on the body.

For me personally, I cut out refined carbs, sugar and milk. I've had a lifelong little pouch even though I'm very active. I found that my diet caused this slight bloating.
I basically followed the Candida diet, which is a yeast cleanse. After a few months of careful nutrition, I can now and then indulge in my cakes and milkshakes...as long as it's not often.
And I do a lot of abdominal work, especially the inner core. My favorite is the plank and side plank and hip lifts. My job is active so I make sure to tighten my abs when I'm lifting or bending. When I drive I do Kegel exercises and suck in my gut and tighten them for a few second at a time...great when you're stuck at the red light.
I also do cardio such as aerobics and dancing.
This has all helped me reduce my gut and it now looks nicely defined.

sit ups/crunches, running, leg lifts (lay on your back, cross your legs at the ankle, lift 45 degrees and lever let your heels hit the floor)
if you've had a baby, than it may not be fixable. some women have extra skin for good (unless they get surgery).
hope this helped!
