Having excess fat around your stomach sucks and walking around with a big belly can be embarrassing, especially at the beach. Losing that stomach fat is important and not just for aesthetic reasons. The size of your stomach can also contribute to heart problems. This is why it is important that you begin to do exercises to lose stomach fat.
There is only one form of exercise that can be called the best exercises to lose stomach fat.
Cardio.
Cardio is a form of exercise that you need in order to lose fat, not just in your stomach, but throughout the rest of your body as well. Many people strive to spot-train an area in order to lose fat from their arms, stomachs or chin. This generally doesn’t workout, because you need to lower the fat levels for your entire body which will in turn decrease the amount of fat in your stomach as well.
You may think that the best exercises to lose stomach fat are a crunches or leg lifts, but those exercises won’t help you lose weight, as they are designed to work the muscles. They are important because they shape your belly and will eventually help you to get the 6-pack look you are after. But, when it comes to burning or losing fat, they don’t do much good.
If you are looking to lose stomach fat it isn’t just about exercises to lose stomach fat, nutrition is also a key piece of the puzzle. This can be difficult so it is a good idea to take this one day at a time. As an example, start by replacing soda with water. Step by step you will cover area’s that first appeared to be long distances.
Exercises to lose stomach fat are varied, as you can chose to do any type of cardio workout so long as you feel comfortable doing it. Swimming, running and jumping are just a few of the options available. You will start to see results and if combine the exercises to lose stomach fat with exercises designed to give you 6-pack abs you will need to be ready to see big changes.

you dont lose wheight on where you exercise it.
your body decides where it loses fat, so the best way is to just lose over all body fat.
do jogging and eat right!

jogging is an excellent exercise because it let you lose weight
evenly throughout your whole body. If you want to lose weight in
specific areas, you should target them with exercises. If they are
your problem areas, they will be very difficult to tone. You will have
to work double on them. The best approach is this:
1. Lower/control your daily calorie intake (control for normal
weight, lower for overweight).
2. Run/jog to lower your overall body fat percentage.
3. Target your problem areas with exercises.
an excellent exercise, you can do it in front of your TV: sit on a
stool, and put your toes under something (piece of heavy furniture,
for example). In your hands hold a little dumbbell. Please, make sure
that it is not very heavy, start with one kilo, for example, or you
will damage your back and spine! Slowly move the upper part of your
body back, until it’s parallel with the ground. Stop for a second and
move it back to the sitting position. Repeat ten times. Every week add
to the number of repetitions. You will see the results in a week,
guaranteed! You will see or feel under the fat – if you have any – six
pack and muscles. Dumbbells do wonders. Much better than these
crunches – I came up to three hundreds and there was no results AT
ALL. With the dumbbells you will see it in a week.

I would suggest supersetting or interval training. it combines strength training(for building lean muscle tissue) and cardio(for fat burning). you don’t need any fancy equipment or an expensive gym membership.
example: squats, push-ups, pull-ups, mountain climbers(if you can’t do a push-up or pull-up=> use dumbbells or resistance bands & do a pushing exercise and a pulling exercise instead). do 15 reps of each back to back to back to back without resting. that equals 1 set. rest 30-60 secs. repeat. do 3-5 complete sets. Do this 3-4x/week.
If you noticed there are no sit-ups or crunches in this workout(I personally think sit-ups & crunches are a waste of time). the best way to burn fat and tighten up your midsection & core is through total body exercises! This style of training doesn’t have you spending in hours and hours a week training either. They are short, fast and effective!
These workouts are great for women or men!
what you put in your body is important as well. Your body needs all 3 macro-nutrients to survive — carbohydrates, protein and fat. If you cut out one of those macro-nutrients your body will not function properly and eventually break down.
Eat whole, naturally occuring foods. Nothing processed, packaged or anything with added sugar, salt, artificial sweetners or preservatives.
Live by this quote: "If you can’t hunt it, fish it, pick it from a tree, bush or the ground, DON’T eat it."
good luck

you cannot isolate an area for fat loss, you just have to generally try and get fitter. my advice to you would be to take up running or swimming and do it 3 times a week and eat healthily as well
good luck
