How to lose excess stomach fat and replace it with abs?

I want to get rid of about 5 pounds of stomach fat.
AFTER, I want to get the abs.
I’m afraid if I try for the abs with the fat still in place,
it’s just gonna turn into bulk. Or is that completely false?

Calorie intake?
Exercise?
Detoxing cleanses?
Supplement pills?
Ect.?

Thank you so much for your timee.
