    A calorie deficit is the only thing to make you lose fat. Core excises (planks, sit ups, etc...) will give you stronger core muscles but will not affect your stomach size. Resistance/weight training, although, will provide the best impact to your body look as when you lose weight, resistance/weight training will help with muscle preservation. And more muscle = tighter body.

    There are no exercises that will target fat anywhere. Exercise will help you burn calories or add muscle. The only way to lose fat is to be in a calorie deficit (eat less than you burn). The fat will go away slowly and you can't pick what order it does.

    There are plenty of exercises that strengthen your abdominal muscles that you can do without any equipment, however you will not be able to see those muscles unless you lose the fat layer over them. You can't spot treat fat loss; you only lose fat on a caloric deficit and that will come off your whole body according to your genetics. A lot of men struggle with fat coming off last on their stomach, hence beer keg bellies instead of six pack abs... my husband for instance can kick my butt in any sort of ab exercise but i have abs that show through and he doesn't because I lose on my waist first and my hips last and he does the opposite.
