It looks like you have a good start. You can do about 30-40 situps and crunches to about a 100 per day (gradually increase exercises not at once). As long as you eat healthful food and exercise (squats, lunges, etc.). I noticed that running too much can overstrain you, and the best amount of time you should run is 15 minutes each day. Jump roping is a really good exercise, also. The answerer right above me, "I luv gymnastics" has good advice. You can find exercises for gymnasts on the Internet, which will keep you in shape. When you eat, try not to eat so that your stomach is SO full, leave space in your stomach so that you'll feel a little (!) bit empty. Try to avoid sweets as much as you can and don't eat after 8:00 p.m. You should see results in a month. Good luck!

It is wrongly believed that can you can lose weight only in certain parts of the body. Some areas bulge or appear more fat due to the lack of muscles. Common abdominal exercises like sit-ups, crunches and leg raises are of a very short duration (usually less than a minute) and do not burn many calories. Doing these exercises helps in the toning and firming of stomach muscles. More info at http://www.toloseweight.org/losestomachfat.html

The only way to get rid of it will be to shed more fat, by doing a combination of cardio, resistance training, and modifying your nutrition.
Some people have the right genetics and metabolism to stay fairly lean.
Others, like myself, have to go on a very strict regimen to reveal their abs. For example, I look fit and feel great at 210 pounds (I'm 5' 11") ... but have some stomach fat. To get rid of it, I actually have to cut 20 more pounds off down to 180 and then it's gone ... in order to do that, I have to be very consistent with my nutrition (i.e. watching my calories), perform a good bit of cardio, and train with weights to retain the muscle mass.
The leaner you get, the more difficult it is to cut more fat. In other words, it's a lot easier (physically) to get to 12% body fat from 26% body fat than it is to get to 6% body fat from 12%. I know this from experience both achieving that myself and from coaching clients to do the same.
Best of success with your quest to rid that last bit of stubborn fat!
