Yeah that's not how it works, you lose weight and fat gradually goes from all different areas.

Working out causes muscles to grow and get stronger, so bodybuilders can target specific areas, but fat doesn't get worked when you work out, fat burns due to needing extra calories to survive, you don't choose where the fat comes from. For example people have chubby fingers, they run for a few months and lose their chubby fingers, they didn't go finger exercises to lose them.

The weight will gradually go and the belly fat will eventually follow. It all depends on where your body is decided to get the extra energy from.

The only caveat that makes it a good idea to do localized exercises on the abs is that with more muscles there (hyperthrophy) the more they will push outwards and even with the same amount of fat it will look slimmer (unless of course person have to much or have a bad body shape where they may look even fatter).
