Try Pilates to strengthen your core. Keep in mind you will not be able to see your six pack until you get rid of the fat. You can't spot reduce.

A russian twist is you sitting on the ground or bench and twisting your upper body left and right (usually with a weight plate being held). You can do it without the weight. If this is too difficult, there may be some severe mobility issues you need to have addressed by a physical therapist.

Planks work your core like crazy. I could barely do 20 seconds when I started this summer. I did two minutes 10 sec yesterday. Had some pretty stiff abs today! You wouldn't think simply holding still would be so much work.

Leg drops
Crunches
