You are correct, Crunches alone will not get rid of that little pocket of fat below your belly button I think your talking about. Crunches will tighten the muscle but do nothing for the fat covering them since you cannot "spot remove" body fat. The only thing that will "Defiantly work" as you ask is a complete program of cardio exercise, weight training, and proper diet. Think of it as a 3 legged table. Take away any one of the legs and the table won't stand.
Proper nutrition- eat small healthy meals every 3 or 4 hours to keep your body from storing fat.
Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day and take a multi vitamin every day.
Cardio- Run, walk, dance.. anything to get your heart rate above 135 beats/ minuet for about 30 minuets 3 days a week Like Mon, wed, Fri.
Weight training- some form of resistance training. It doesn't have to be heavy weights, just enough to tone your muscles to burn fat.
perhaps Tues, Thurs, Sat
Sunday Rest. Yes you need a day of rest to let your body recover.
I know it may not be the magic formula you want to hear, but you asked for something that will definitely work.
Good Luck!

Yup, definitely the most important things are to drink lots of water, eat responsibly, and keep moving. And keep in mind you won't notice results right away; it might take months for you to see a difference, but hopefully you'll feel better after just a few days.
While different kinds of exercising will affect different muscles, you'll be most likely to reach your goal if you focus on finding something you enjoy (and like to push your body to do) so you'll stick with it. That may be something only you can figure out.

Short answer:
Pilates, water, and multi-vitamins.
If you have a scale, throw it out. Scales will just freak you out. Numbers don't matter. If you really need to have the numbers for a goal then ask your doctor to measure your body fat.
The Long, but much more informed Answer:
Pilates. They work so well. It's a low-impact workout that works your core and balance system. I got results without even looking for them.
The biggest thing is doing your workout properly. You need to make sure you aren't stressing a part of your body. If you stress, it's just going to hurt and then you won't be working proper muscles.
If you can't take a pilates class then look up some moves you can do at home.
Also, drink your water. I know everyone says it, but really, water is better for you than you may know. The colder the water, the better it is for you. When you drink cold water it lowers your body temperature and your metabolism boosts in order to keep you at 98.6.
Have a multi-vitamin, but don't overdo it. Too many vitamins can be harmful. They will give you energy and make you an overall healthier person.

Just eat healthy and cut down on the junk foods and portions of foods at meals. Also, try cutting down on the in between snacks during the day. Go for walks and have fun. Be outside and be active
Good luck and have fun =]
