Your body fat percentage is still too high. That's all.0

Standard 'you can't spot reduce' response, keep burning fat and it'll come off there at some point. I noticed a big reduction in fat on my sides first as well, took a while longer after that before I could begin to see my abs.

Can you expand on what "ab exercises" you're doing? I only hit my abs once a week, but I go heavy on them (weighted leg raises, weighted crunches on a Bosu ball, and Russian twists). If you want muscular definition and for your abs to "pop", you have to work them out with appropriate resistance, like any other muscle group.0 -
More muscle, less fat. Heavy compound lifts are going to be more effective than ab exercises.0

....I personally think that's a good looking tummy, but that's just me and I totally get that you have your goals.0 -
