A lot of it is diet. Because it is the last 5-10 pounds, you are going to have to work harder.
Cut a lot of your carbs to be more complex carbs. NO simple carbs or as little as possible. Mostly protein.
High protein low carb diets aren't the best, so you will have to experiment with adding foods back in. Keep a diet schedule of what day and meal you are getting a treat.
Push hard in the gym. Hour of cardio per day, high intensity cardio, all that. Push push push.
That being said, do listen to your body. If you feel you need a rest, give yourself a rest.
Your health is most important.
The process that follows the desire to get a toned stomach is prolonged because so many factors effect the results. What you eat (your diet) is the main factor. You need to stay away from fatty foods at all costs to reduce the amount of fat on the stomach.
Following a good diet, any type of core exercise will help you get a more defined stomach.
- Plank
- Knee drops
- Ball tucks
- Push ups
- Leg raises
- Wood chops
are some of my favorite exercises for a toner stomach. You can always google the above names to learn how to do them.
Well, I'm not sure exactly what you like about hers.
I'm going to assume you want a really flat stomach but no washboard.
If that's NOT accurate, let me know.
Lose a little fat and go heavy on transverse abdominus exercises.
"Uddiyana Bandha" yoga pose is actually a great example, lots of good instructionals on it.

It's going to be primarily your diet and fat loss. Partially genetics. You can do ab exercises until you're blue in the face, but you're not really doing anything other than strengthening your core(which is great!) You could also get to that weight and still have more body fat than you want.
Keep yourself in a caloric deficit, eat clean and pick up some weights(compound exercises). Don't worry about the scale. :)
Dance! I am a Competition Dancer and I have better abs than that lol. Eating healthy is a big thing too, lots of protien, with very little prosseced foods
diet eat right high fiber 3 meals a day 2 snacks low fat high protein running helps so does ab workouts just remember its hard work and takes time it took me a year to get great abs but you will see results!
Sit ups with weights and lots of running and less eating.
