the body composition is a direct result of the diet that you follow. since you can't spot reduce fat stores abdominal training obviously has no effect of fat in the mid-section.
to decrease the body fat you need to follow a high protein diet. at 5'6 and 162 lbs. your body fat is probably close to 35% you need to get that down to around 25%. consume close to 45% protein, 35% carbs and 20% fats. consume sufficient calories to support your BMR. you need to exercise for 60 minutes daily with several sessions of high intensity cardio weekly

Weight loss and fitness is always a long term commitment and never a quick fix. If you really want to reduce your weight a bit, this is a complex regime, that should help, I would get a pencil to write it down, in case you forget any of the intricate details. Currently only using the criteria 'lose weight' there are 8,726 questions and answers on Answers already. Mis-spell it as 'loose weight' and you get another 2,424! 'Weight loss' will add another 1,750. 'Too fat ' 14,518 and 'overweight' 2,500 and 'over weight' 24,409!!!!!. 'Diet Pills' gives 577, Hoodia 189, 'pink patch' 109, 'Xenical' 84 'Reductil' 74, 'Slim fast' 208 (and Slimfast 69 ) and 'orlistat' 38 . Do you spot a pattern here? Here comes the only answer, no tricks, no pills, no short cuts, If you really want to lose weight, loose weight, not be too fat or overweight, follow these instructions carefully:- 1) Eat less 2) Take regular vigorous exercise Repeat 1+2 forever I am afraid this answer of mine is cut and pasted about 10 times every day, though I do update the numbers. What would really be the point is creating a new answer each time for an identical question, which actually has an answer that everybody knows already?

Well sadly saddle bags and lower abs are the last to go. You need to watch your daily caloric intake currently.(say for a week) Use something like fitday.com
Then cut 200cals off the top for a few days and then monitor. Some cut 200cals for a week and monitor your body weight. At the same time increase your activity levels. Run, bike, walk, sled pull or whatever at least 3 times a week. Make sure you are reaching you traget heart rate. You will drop the lbs for sure. Take a couple pics fist to guage your progress. After a month you will see a def progress most people get to where there want to be after a couple, three months.
Remember you didn't gain this stuff overnight so don't expect to lose it overnight either.

When we want to get rid of body fat, there is no way to specifically burn fat from one part of the body. Doing situps won't burn the fat that is covering your abs and doing tricep extensions won't get rid of the fat that is covering your triceps. The only thing you can do is lose weight all around and eventually the problem area will also improve. The way to burn fat is through a calorie restricted diet in conjunction with an exercise routine that will burn calories. Activities that burn calories include running, biking, swimming and other high intensity activities.
