first, i would continue with whatever you're doing to lose weight, because it's obviously working. so keep on trucking with that.. and do crunches daily. by crunches i don't just mean simple situps, i mean slow, stomach burning crunches. if you don't feel the pain after doing them for a couple days, you're not doing them right.
lay down on your back and put your hands straight out in front of you [beginner], crossed over your chest [intermediate], or behind your head [which is surprisingly the hardest way]. then whichever way you situate your arms, simply come straight up. but not all the way up, just come up as far as it hurts. like when the burning on your abs is the most intense- then slowly lower back down. make sure you go down SLOWLY though. or else it will defeat the purpose. its best to do these in sets. since you're just starting, i would suggest about 60 a day: 3 sets of 20. once that gets less challenging, bump it up to 4 sets of 80, or 5 sets of 100. keep doing more and more as it gets harder, and you'll be sure to achieve that 4 pack that you want =]
also, here's a great fitness website! www.toneteen.com if you use the BMI calculator, don't worry about whatever it says- those things are extremely inacurate because they never know how much muscle someone has or the size of their bones or anythingggggggg.
