Over the past eleven weeks I've lost around 13kg (around 28 lbs). I still have 18kg to go, but I can already see the change when I have my clothes on. However when I have my shirt off my stomach still looks like a big flabby mess (to me at least). I know it's not possible to spot reduce fat, but are there any exercises I can do to tighten up and improve the appearance of my stomach? Thanks in advance.

    If you are doing heavy compounds then you should retain what abs you have. That and a calorie deficit are your best ways.

    If you want you could directly train your abs a couple of times a week as well.

    i do compound lifts. But i also train abs 4 times a week in addition to my compounds. i finish my workouts with 3x20 of some kinda ab movement, i rotate through them.

    Deadlifts & squats are among the best for working the abs. Exercises don't target the skin or fat layer, they'll just pull in your abdomen slightly if it's bowed outward. The loose skin may take up to 2 years to snap back.
