You have to understand that,excercise and nutrition go hand in hand.
In order to lose the fat,energy expenditure must be greater than calories consumed.
In other words,you have to excercise more than what you eat.
Pretty sure you've heard of the saying: "What you eat, is how you look" .
If not,you have now.:p
Anyways,back to your dilemma...
Doing sit-ups or crunches will help you to eliminate that saggy/flabby skin around your abdominal area.
Now,in order for me to make any suggestions,it's important to know :
a) what kind of foods and how much you eat.
b) What other excercises(if any) you perform?
As this will give me a more accurate picture of your situation and will determine the outcome.

Thanks Mate , The kind of food I eat tend to are things like chicken , pasta , baked potatoes , Ham and Mayo sandwiches and thats usually what I eat each week. Other excercises I do are 20 minutes on a x trainer daily , bench presses , hammer curls , butterfly press , squats and biecep curls. I work on my muscles every second day.

Chicken,beef,fish and eggs are great for muscle building,pork not so good.
Best way to maximize your protein distribution is to eat(and chew thoroughly) in smaller portions at each sitting as this will allow your stomach to properly digest and deposit less fat and big meals means the opposite effect.
Think of your stomach like a woodfire heater..
The less wood you shove into it,the more efficient it will burn.
Too much wood,and the fire has a hard time burning it.
The other excercises you do will add to the intensity of your workout,in turn will burn more fat.
Your metabolic rate will play a big role in how well you can burn fat too.
(The term "metabolic" is often used to refer specifically to the breakdown of food and its transformation into energy.)

Another thing I should also mention is that when you excercise,increase your repetitions(reps) with each set as this ups the intensity of the workout and can change the way your body uses energy and burns fat.:y:
For example; If you did barbell curls with 20kg(44lbs) weight and 7 reps per set.
Instead,reduce the weight to say 10kg(22lbs) but increase the reps to 15 or 20.
Increasing the reps works the muscle in a different way,bringing fast twitch muscle fibres into play.
Bodybuilders use less weight+high reps to achieve that "cut" look in preparation for a competition.
But for the average weight trainer this method also works to achieve the toned and tight skin look by burning excess fat,revealing(showing) the muscles.
