    None. It is done by fat loss.

    A clean diet and losing the body fat through diet and exercise. We've all got abs, they're just hidden under that stomach fat. There's plenty of exercises that will work your core muscles but nothing out there will give you a flat stomach until you've leaned your body fat down low enough.

    Setting down your fork and walking away. It's the only exercise for a flat stomach, since spot reducing doesn't work.

    Weight loss and planks.

    Compound weight lifting is all you need to do in terms of "exercise." Fat loss will allow the ab development achieved in that way become visible.

    I've always liked my stomach, even in heavier times, because of my Pilates practice. I hope that helps.

    Fat loss is the first key as mentioned above.
    If you would like to increase your muscle tone I would recommend the following exercises:

    Abs/Obliques (front of your core):
    Lying leg raises
    Hanging leg raises
    Planks
    Swiss ball crunches

    Lower back region (back of your core):
    Reverse hyperextensions
    Back extensions
    Front squats

    Google any exercises you are not familiar with!
