Answer 1

No. You need to do cardio and clean up your diet. You cannot spot reduce, you have to lose fat from all over, and you can only do that by not eating junk and working out. Sorry.

Try cutting out chips and soda and candy and all other junk, start drinking lots of water and go for a 20 minute run every day. On top of all that do your ab workout.

Answer 2

no it wont- sit ups will make it look bigger because all they do is build muscle, they dont burn fat.
the only way to get rid of it is by lowering your body fat percentage which you achieve by healthy diet and exercise.
find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio is the only fat burning exercise and burns fat all over your body (running, jogging, swimming, spinning, elliptical etc) 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), weight training a few days a week but never work on the same muscle group two days in a row (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Answer 3

doesnt doing situps build muscle?
that would make ur stomach look bigger i think
it would be better if u run on a treadmill for like 20-30 mins a day
and do situps
