Diet is the key, watch what your eating and switch to a heathier diet plan, no fried foods, fatty meats, fruits and veggies, sugar rich candys, sweets, sodas, if your doing enough of the exercises your describing, its a good workout but the muscles are hid by a layer of fat. You need to work out like you are but control what your eating. Working out with weights will increase your lean body mass, which raises your resting metabolic rate. When you speed us your metabolism, your burn fat.

Exercises for the abs themselves won't do much in the way of burning fat... you'll want to do something more strenuous for that part, such as running or swimming.

For the abdominal strength, we had an ab program when I used to run:

Crunches
Leg raises
Twist sit-ups (elbow to opposite knee)
Leg circles (keep your feet off the floor, legs straight and together, and move them in a circle all the way around, as full a range of motion as you can get)
Reverse crunches
Jackknifes
Hip lifts
Side crunches

Do each of these for 20 seconds (this will burn like WHOA at first, especially the leg circles) without taking a break. Repeat if possible Once you can do it three times without feeling like you're going to die, up the time by five seconds.

Yeah, all of them are done with nothing but a large enough spot on the floor to lay down on. You'll never need any equipment to do a good ab set.

Side crunches are done just like a regular crunch, except that you lay your legs to one side. Do half the set with your knees to the right, and half the set with the knees to the left. Works the obliques.

Jack-knife situps are the pain train Lay down with your legs flat in front of you and your arms straight out over your head. Keeping your legs and arms straight, bring both of them up and try to touch your toes.

Reverse crunches are done by holding your legs straight up and raising your hips. Works the lower abs.

Ignore the hip lifts... that's another name for the reverse crunch. Those seven should be enough to get you started, and you can always make it more effective by adding more time.
