One tip I once heard from a personal trainer was to eat only fruits (and vegetables) before 12 noon. It worked for me a couple of years ago

I also heard from my mate's brother's wife that eating less calories than i burn will also give me a flat stomach after a while!

None of these have super "belly fat killing" powers.

They are all just healthy foods. Eat them to excess and your belly will get bigger!

Eat in a calorific deficit, of pretty much anything, and eventually your belly fat will go down. Remember you can't spot reduce fat. Any diet/plan/food that claims otherwise is a scam.

Exactly. There are no such things as foods that are good for a flat belly.
