you'd be surprised at what running and swimming will do for your core. It's not gonna make your abs more powerful but it will help you trim down. Also... specific core workouts such as hanging leg (or knee) raises will help but to lose the fat you have to be able to do dozens pretty fast.
I used to fight a lot and to strengthen my core I would take a 45 lb plate and hold it close to my chest. With my feet spread significantly wider than my shoulders I would rotate my shoulders from left to right, right to left, left to right, and so on; twisting my core almost to the max. Do this fast but not violently. If you need more weight but can't get a heavier plate, move your feet closer together. You don't have to use a weight, it can be anything heavy that you can hold on to.
Then there are always crunches.
Diet is important. Lots protein... maybe 100g a day. I'd say around 60 to 65 percent of your caloric intake should be carbs... stop drinking so much beer... try not to eat late at night... all the normal stuff.
EDIT: I dunno why I said 60 to 65 % per day... it should probably be less than that if you are trying to lose weight. However... if you eat properly and work out then 60% is probably ok.
