Oo just thought, leg raises are good for lower abs, slower is better, try and hold it just before you return your legs to the floor.
And planks too.

Unfortunately it's not possible to target a specific area to lose fat. I'm in the same position, size 10 ATM, trying to lose a small amount of weight and tone. I tend to carry weight on my lower tummy when I get past a certain size (higher end of size 10), and I hate it, I feel really self conscious.
To have a really visible six pack, women need to get down to a low body fat percentage and it isn't really healthy. I think last time I had a very flat stomach was when I was a small size 6 and technically underweight.

If you eat snacks like crisps and chocolate you need to cut them out (or treat in Fri/sat within reason). Regular exercise like HIT. Then twice per week a 15 mins abs workout. There are lots on youtube
