Core exercises will strengthen your abdominal muscles, but you can't spot reduce. Fat goes away only when you maintain a consistent calorie deficit, prompting your body to use fat for fuel. And you can't choose where it goes away from.

The Mayo Clinic has a good guide to basic core exercises.

Pilates is great

Core exercises will strengthen your abdominal muscles, but they'll do nothing to eliminate belly fat. Spot reduction isn't possible. The best exercises to rid yourself of belly fat are fork putdowns and table pushaways.

Yes, Pilates is great for building core strength. But it won't help you lose belly fat faster.

The best exercise for belly fat is called "Push Away from the Table."

Thank you everyone. I am keeping under my daily caloric intake. I will take a look at the mayo clinic and Pilates.

eat at a deficit.

start a progressive lifting program, with extra attention paid to core work.

Table push aways

And when someone asks if you want more food, implement 3 sets of head shakes.
