Sure, eating less helps but then you also need to exercise to burn additional calories. I would focus on exercise that requires core strenght like Pilates. You could also do crunches defined here by Wikipedia:
The crunch, also known as curl-up, is one of the most common exercises for the abdominal muscles, primarily the rectus abdominis. It is performed while lying face up on the floor with knees bent, by curling the shoulders up towards the pelvis. The hands may be placed behind the head, but care should be taken not to pull on the neck, as this can cause injury. Alternatively, the hands may be placed on the shoulders, with the forearms crossed over the chest, or by the sides resting on the floor.
Crunch exercises may be performed on swiss balls. Weights may be used, typically held under the chin, to increase resistance. Holding a medicine ball behind the head exercises the triceps, as well as the abs.[citation needed]
Unlike the sit-up, the lower back should not leave the floor. This is said to eliminate any involvement by the hip flexors, and make the crunch an effective isolation exercise for the abdominals. The difficulty of the crunch can be increased by lying on a decline bench and/or holding a weight on the chest. In addition, there are specific machines designed to perform crunches.
Critics[attribution needed] of the crunch have pointed out that the hip flexors are not in fact eliminated from the movement by the lower back being kept on the ground. Tension spreads from the abdominals to the hip flexors, and the tension of the hip flexors reduces the workload on the rectus abdominis.[citation needed]
Variants include:
The reverse crunch or dragon flag is performed by curling the legs and pelvis towards the shoulders. More emphasis is placed on the lower abdominals.
The twisting crunch is performed by lifting one shoulder at a time. More emphasis is placed on the obliques.
The Thai Crunch is performed by hitting the stomach after full contraction. This variation is used by Muay Thai fighters to condition the core to take hits from punches or knees.
The cable crunch is performed while kneeling upright by curling the body to pull down on a cable machine. The hips are kept motionless, so the bodyweight does not assist the movement.
The bicycle crunch is performed by bringing together alternating elbows and knees, resulting in a leg motion similar to pedaling a bicycle.

swimming helps a lot to burn fat and to acheive that six pack.
if that isn't an option right now, by no means eat less food. instead you shuld be eating healthier foods with leess fat, and do crunches and situps every night for a week and you shuld see improvements; this worked for me
it's a combination of eating healthy and abdominal muscle training.
