Have you ever heard of HIIT? I hear that's pretty good for losing fat.
It ultimately comes down to your diet though. Make sure you're eating super clean.
And ab excercises aren't going to make you lose fat in your abs any more than calve exercises or any other exercises.

Lifting is very important as it builds more muscles to amp up your metabolism. However, HIIT won't take off the fat. It makes your body take sugar from muscles mass when it run out of fuel. Some high but a lot of low will drop the fat. HIIT is for your heart while the lower stuff is better for fat.
There's a key point when your body shifts from burning equal amount of fat and sugar to all sugar. You can tell when you're already there because you want to breath in and out through your mouth and you'll have a mental focus to maintain the pace. If you can breath in through your nose and out through your mouth you are just under. You burn the most fat/ calorie spent when you do cardio and can breath in and out only through your nose. It just takes more time. the good thing is that you will be training your body to process fat for fuel and over time can move your heart to higher bpm levels.
I've posted some heart rate training stuff out hear. PM me if you'd like more.
