How do I get abs/flat stomach?

Hi guys,

Ive been doing 5x5 stronglift workout and everythings been going well.
Ive been eating alot and gaining weight because Im normally a slim guy.

I eat alot of snacks during the day to keep me strong, because as a type 1 diabetic, I lose weight/muscle quickly sometimes.

By eating alot and working out, Ive been getting stronger but my belly is getting bigger.
I also do some running for an hour when I do not go gym, but my stomach is still big.

Sometimes I do sit ups but when I start eating again, my belly gets fat again.

I see some strong bulky guys with alot of weight who have flat stomach/abs.

I would like to start getting a flat stomach with abs, but gain muscle and weight at the same time. Can you please recommend some exercises that will help me get a flat stomach with abs?

Any advice or help would be appreciated.

Obviously keep training those abs, but you can't get a six pack from just sit ups. It really happens in your diet. Are you tracking calories and macronutrients? It will really help if you did so.

I just did some of the workouts in this video and it was difficult because Im not used to it.

Ive got a lot of work to do...

Thanks for the advice everyone.

the only way to get abs is to lower your bodyfat via a caloric deficit, you can do 1000 crunches a day but it won't do anything as long as they're covered by fat

You've got a point. I'll try using a calorie deficit calculator on google.

Abs require having muscle and having a lowish bf%.

Avoid Mike Chang and anyone else who advises ab session bs.

Just keep going with SL and when it comes to cutting then you can attain abs. Abs on a skinny guy are like boobs on a fat girl - they don't count.
