For the fat on your stomach to go you'll have to do cardio to lower your body fat.

If you worked out every day for the next two months, then yeah, it should definately go away.

I'm not a muscular kid, and I don't have a lot of stomach fat because I've never really let it get to me, but all I know is that crunches are good, but you've got to be consistent with them and change it up a lot.

Doing cardio work out first, then doing muscles at end.
But not eat junk food, soda, etc otherwise it won't go away.

Jog for about 5-10 minutes before every work out, i do it all the time and I saw a result in the third week. Also if you work your biceps, do sit-ups between that and then go back to your biceps and keep on doing that, it gives time for your stomach muscles to rest.
Good Luck

I tend to do my cardio after my workouts, as I find doing cardio before puts a bit of a strain on what I can do. I'd say not to completely focus on your abs, and to put more emphasis on the rest of your body as a unit.
Running on a treadmil won't do that much good. If you're looking for quick but very effective cardio, I reccomend TABATAS. Its a technique developed by the Japanese, and you feel like you've been hit the semi once you'v finished, at first. Basic tabatas flow with a siries of squat intervals for four minutes, with a ten secon rest period every thiry seconds. Once you've gained resistance to squatting your body weight, I reccomend using light dumbless and progess from there.
In the gym, try not to focus completely towards looking good and getting fit. Look for excersises that can help build your endurance and that can serve as some practical help towards you such as DIPS and PULL-UPS. Most gym's usually have machines that can help with your dips and pull-ups if you can't pull your bodyweight.
And squats. Squats work your back, your gluts, your legs and your abs. Try to do low-bar squats instead of highbar squats, as it works your lower back and your hamm's and your quads, and your body travels at shorter distance to that of a highbar squat. When it comes to how low you can go, my point is usually when my quads and my calves meet.
Hope this helps.

Like most have said, you must do cardio. Also, do some crunches everyday to tone up your stomach. It takes a while for that stuff to show, especially if you have a bad diet.

Believe it or not, crunches don't really get rid of fat. They just build up your ab muscles. Cardio like running and watching what you eat should help you lose the weight. |

If you want mainly the "gut" to go away I recommend doing things like situps, crunches. etc. But weightlifting will only make you better.

Thanks for all your helps guys.
I work on different parts of my body
My:
Biceps
Triceps
Deltoids
Chest
Stomach
Legs
Shoulders
My diet consists of Chicken, egg, tuna, anything high in protein really.
Is that the right thing to eat ?
I eat after i've worked out, so that the protein can repair the muscle.
I'm also doing 10 mins cardio after my liffting

When I was in wrestling in high school, we mainly did situps and cruches and running, theres really not much to do with weights to get fat off your stomach. After you get comfortable doing situps, take a weight plate, and lay it on your chest, then do a sit up while holding it on your chest.

I've been searching and 50% of people have been saying it's impossible to gain muscle mass, but still have a flat stomach. While the other 50% have been saying Weightlifting and 10 to 15 minuites of cardio will get you muscle mass and a flat stomach (Keeping in mind this is determined on a high protein diet) |

Cardio is good if you want to LOSE weight...It gets rid of fat and muscle.
