It is still to do with diet you cannot spot reduce.Try and cut your calorie intake down a little and keep the fat low.And carrie on with all the abb work you will get there in the end.

Include cardio in your workout.

And your diet. No saturated fats, and watch the kind of and amount of carbs you are eating....

Basic gentic phyisology is gentic ( hieght, body type ect) But I have found that many of the reason people may gain so much bf so easily is due to a life long habit of poor eating habits that they were taught were acceptable from their childhhod. Now there are the occassional medical condidtions in which this does not adhere to, but those are not trhe norm.

rexkishi,
You are not going to achieve the results you desire until you incorporate a good sound cordio rotine in your training program. Body fat is burned off when sufficient work has been applied to burn it off. What I mean is that you are going to have to expend the enrgy, enough in fact that your body has to call on the fat resreves that it has stored. Sittups will tone up your abbs and make them stronger BUT they will not aid you in burning off body fat as your heart ratre will not get high enough, long enough to even begin the fat burning process.
