Toning up my stomach?

So, everyone (friends, family, random people on here...) are telling me that at 130 and 5'8" I'm at a perfect weight and just need to tone up.
I honestly want this to be the truth, but I don't really believe it...
However, I'm still going to try.
What are some exercises I can do to help tone up my stomach nice and tight?

    Planks are great, if you do them topless and look down
    you'll see what's hiding the abs you already have.

    Squats and deadlifts are great for the core. Maybe throw in some pull ups, and over head presses for good measure. You can do those nekkid too.

    according to the BMI calculator I use, your BMI is like 19--that is the low side of normal. I know, I know, BMI does not take a lot of things into account. However...I am 5 ft 2 inches tall and 135lbs is the HIGH side of normal for me.

    I think toning is all you need to do!
