I did crunches too. I also did a lot of simple stretches where I just held the pose for a while. I had a c-section and had gained 60lbs while pregnant (much of which was water but a week after delivery I was still 45 lbs more than my original weight) It took me about a year to really get back to my original place. My tummy is still a little slack but part of that is because of the c-section scar making it hard to build muscle there. I only did what my body could handle because of the incision - Some exercises hurt and pulled it. I did a lot of walking as well since I could do that with the baby. 15lbs extra at 5 mo post pregnancy - I wouldn't panic about too much. Just a little bit of time every day doing something you enjoy should get rid of that. I've heard that it's reasonable to expect 6 mo-a year to get back to or close to prepregnancy weight. Breastfeeding will help lots too.
