Help with Uncovering Abs

MissingLink240

I'm 5ft 6 and weigh 121 lbs. I'm already pretty skinny, so I am looking to build muscle. The only area giving me issues are my abdominal muscles. It seems like no matter what I do I can't get rid of that little belly pooch to uncover my abs. Any tips or personal experiences?

If you don't have visible abs at this point it's because you lack muscle, not because you have too much belly fat. Eat at or above maintenance and get on a progressive resistance exercise plan.2
