You will need to lose belly fat. In order for men to get six-pack abs, they need to drop their fat percentage below 10-11%. For similar result, women must get below 19% of total fat to visibly bring out their abs. However, these numbers are not carved in stone, and at age 13 you should consult with a professional before starting a diet or exercise regime.

About Fat

Fat is a nutrient that is essential for the body to function normally. Fat supplies energy to the body and makes it possible for the other nutrients to do their jobs. Unfortunately, we often consume far more fat than is necessary, which can lead to excess cholesterol and obesity, which are two factors that increase the risk of heart disease.
