stomach fat

i am 32, 5ft., 117lb, i used to weigh 126. I'm trying to lose my stomach fat. How can i lose fat and not weight? I'm happy with my legs and arms but just not my stomach.  I'm doing workout for my abs but my fat is still there. I'm on a no carb, no sugar diet. It did help me lose weight but not the fat on my stomach.  Any suggestions?

Hi its me again cause I forgot to mention that I also have lots of problems with my bowels and don't go very often, even though I am taking 4 Coloxyl with Senna every day I am blocked, to put it nicely, can this also effect fat loss in the abdomen???
Thanks

I don't recommend any kind of restrictive carb diet as there is a danger you can put the weight on again. I realise this is not an answer you were hoping to read, I just wanted to make you aware of it.

You cannot spot reduce fat. Fat will leave various body areas when it wants to.

The stomach is the hardest part to remove fat from and usually the last when all other body areas have had fat removed from.

Just keep doing what you are doing and I promise the fat will go.

Stomach crunches will only tone muscles underneath the fat. It won't burn fat itself so in my opinion, they are useless for fat removal.

Lots of cardio and weight lifting should do the trick.

Yep, the abs are the toughest challenge.
Try sit-ups, crunches or any type of exercise that brings your knees up to your chest.
