As both Herb & Chain have said you need to do Cardio to go with the ab work & dont overdo the Ab stuff either.
Just like any other muscle they respond to high intesity but not thousands of reps.
I normally 3 sets of 20 reps per excercise (Upper Abs, Lower Abs, Obliques)
As for Cardio do around 45 minutes as often as you like but probably at least twice a week, anything less is pointless as most studies show it takes at least 30 minutes to get into the fat burning zone.
I just do mine once a week (Not trying to cut fat at the mo as I'm on my bulking stage) on the Stationary bike or Cross Trainer...I cant run on a treadmill without looking like a dick so try not to do it, also to maximise the weight loss do the Cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach because the body is in it's fat burning stage after your sleep induced fast.
After that it's just watch your diet.
