Check out a site with a Calorie Calculator, to figure out how many calories you need per day to either maintain your weight or lose around a pound a week. Be sure to eat less calories than needed to maintain. Although I don't recommend it to anyone (since it can be a little risky) I take a supplement to help me lose weight and burn fat. I wouldn't recommend it, as I said, but I took the risk since I was at one time 300 pounds on a 5' 11" frame (which is pretty risky in itself). If you think you need any sort of "help" like that, I definitely recommend that you see a licensed doctor for help in selecting the proper product.
Also, don't forget to excercise. It'll up your metabolism, help shape/tone your body and you'll be more inclined to watch what you eat, since you don't want to waste all your hard work. Even though you mentioned your main weight being stored in a centralized location, the best idea would probably be to do some aerobic training as well as some weight training, working the whole body not just the abdomen. Crunches are hard to beat for defining and strengthening abs, though.
Hope this helps a little!
