so I am following this advice


There is a misconception that doing "crunches" and "sit-ups" will get rid of your belly flat. Sorry, that is not so.

It seems contradictory to ignore your core but the fact is that these exercises are simply a waste of time when it comes to shedding stubborn fat around your midsection, or defining your abs. That is because you already have a six pack - you just cannot see it.  Shedding the fat just reveals it.

You cannot specifically target "belly fat". Sorry, Your body decides itself where it will burn fat. What you need to do is burn off excess calories and maintain a healthy lifestyle around diet and exercise.

So let us concentrate on fat loss first.

First
Total energy expenditure is your greatest ally against belly fat. You have to get your body to use more energy when you are resting - as this continues to burn calories. However, as you get older, the total amount of energy when you are resting decreases.
Both lifestyle and genetics play a role. Movement is obviously important, and varying aerobic exercise is terrific. Walk at various speeds (try and get out of breath) and use hills, for example. The right exercise can cause an "after burn effect" that can last for hours, which allows you to burn more calories when you are resting.

Swap fat for muscle
Did you know that for every pound of muscle you add to your body, your body uses up to 50 more calories a day while at rest. Replace the fat taking up space on your arms, your extra chins, those moobs, and on your belly, and replace with lean well-defined muscle on legs, core, and arms and you will burn extra fat just sitting down.
For ladies, they need not worry about looking muscly, as they have different testosterone levels to men. But reducing fat can take just 20 minutes a day - as long as you look to eat a healthy diet too.

Do efficient work-outs
As you get older, lifestyle changes. There are additional stresses and problems.  But that is no excuse to ignore your body and what it needs. Nutrition and exercise does decline - and this adds pounds of fat onto us.
We are also fighting our own metabolic slow down.
Just 20 minutes of intermittent exercise, focusing on core, legs, and arms - some high intensity interval training - will make the difference. Work with friends, in a group, or on your own.
Be patient, and maintain. You may not see a difference for several weeks, but your body is gaining from day one.
