Core work is great and will do many positive things for you. However, just because you are targeting the "core" muscles there is no correlation to decrease fat in the "core" areas. In order to lose the "flab" around the waste, innately you must lose fat. Thats the bottom line. As missjane noted you should try balancing your protein/carb/fat intake. Figure out your daily maintenance caloric needs and go from there.
