Looking for a particular exercise.
Does anyone know any exercises that can help me get rid of the excess fat on my sides, right above my hipbones? Nothing I do seems to work and I'm finding it hard to maneuver myself to wear I'm targeting that area.
Thanks in advance.

Exercise will help tone the area but you also need to diet to get rid of the fat. Here's a few exercises that will help.
Cross Crunch
Lie on your back, knees bent, so your left foot is resting flat on the floor. With your right knee bent, place your right foot across your left knee. Your neck and head should be relaxed with your left hand at the side of your head and your right hand on the left side of your abdominals. Curl your body up with a twisting movement, bringing your left shoulder toward your right knee. "Unwind" as you slowly lower yourself back to the floor—touch your shoulders to the floor and repeat.
Torso Twist
Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat, about hip-width apart. Extend your arms straight in front of you, and lace your fingers. Tighten your abdominal muscles and lean back about 45 degrees toward the floor. With your abs taut, rotate your torso toward the right as far as comfortably possible. Be sure to move your upper body (head, shoulders, arms, chest, and abs) in unison; don't lead with your arms. You should be looking in the same direction your hands are pointing throughout the move. Hold, then return to center and twist to the opposite side. That's one rep. Do 2 sets of 10-12 reps with a one minute break in between sets.
Seated Knee Drop
Sit back on your hipbones and place your hands on the floor behind you for balance. Bend your knees, press your ankles together, and lower your legs to the right. Contract your abdominals and obliques and slowly pull your legs up and over to the left. Repeat from side to side for 1 minute. Be sure to use your muscles, not momentum, to do the work.
Seated Torso Twist
Sit on the floor with your back straight, knees bent, and feet flat on the floor about hip-width apart. Extend your arms straight in front of you, and place your hands together, palms and fingers touching. Contract your abdominal muscles and lower your torso about 45 degrees, keeping your back straight. With your back straight and abs taut, rotate your torso toward the right as far as comfortably possible. Be sure to move your upper body in unison; don't lead with your arms. You should be looking in the same direction that your hands are pointing throughout the move. Pause, return to center, and repeat to the opposite side.
Side Plank
Lie facedown on the floor with your upper body propped on your forearms and your elbows directly beneath your shoulders. Roll your body over to the right side, supporting your torso on your right forearm, raising your hips, and stacking your feet so your body forms a straight plank. Put your left hand on your hip. Hold 5 to 10 seconds, then switch sides.
Bicycles
Lie faceup on the floor, legs extended, hands loosely behind your head. Slowly lift your torso off the floor and bring your left elbow across your body, while bending your right knee and lifting your leg toward your chest as far as comfortably possible. Hold, then lower back to start. Repeat, alternating sides. You should be twisting your torso, not your neck.
Standing Crossover
Stand with your feet a few inches apart. Bend your arms and hold them out to the sides, so they form right angles with your hands toward the ceiling, palms facing forward. Contract your abs and pull your right knee and left elbow toward one another. Pause, and return to start. Complete a set, then switch sides.

What you need to do is a crunch but go off to the right and then to the left
Like that. It burns the side fat, I think...
