Need some ab advice

[rawwaverage]

I've been lifting weights for a couple of weeks now and I've been seeing some great results. I've been incorporating cardio twice a week but I've noticed that it hasn't been targeting my belly fat(although I don't have a lot.) I train abs right after cardio but my belly fat is stubborn. I flex my abs and I can see the top 4 abs but that's only when I flex. Should I do more cardio and ab exercises in a week?

There's no such thing as targeting belly fat. You should move your cardio to last so you have more energy for your other exercises, but just stay the course otherwise. You can eventually have abs if you get lean enough. Or just grow. Or one after the other.

I usually do ab workouts on my leg days and my rest days. I was told that in order to actually see progress in making abs, you have to eat right!!!!
That was a huge problem for me, because I used to focus on ab workouts so much, yet eat whatever at home/out. I saw absolutely no progress...

In addition, most workouts target abdominals, esp. in squats, bench press, deadliifts, and much more~

This guy nailed it. Only thing I can add is if OP wants to gain size, you want higher intensity cardio interval training in small doses (20-25 mins) after weight training is done.....and DIET DIET DIET. If I lift 5 days a week, I'm finishing with 20 mins tabata/interval cardio 5 days a week. But yeah no targeting fat areas, you can't control it. Just stick with your routine....and for the love of God pay attention to your diet!

ab workouts wont do anything but make your abs stronger and/or bigger

using more calories than you take in is what will make you loose the belly fat. excuse me, Body fat you will loose fat all over your body, just keep dieting and burning the extra calories off with lifting and cardio if you want to get rid of your belly fat. it does not matter what exercise you do as far as fat loss, as long as you are burning more calories than you take in you will loose fat.
