Trying to get a flat stomach?

I am 5 foot 2 and weigh 116 pounds. I would like to get a flat stomach, great abs and toned butt and thighs.
I usually exercise on the elliptical 60 min. 5x/wk in the morning at 7 and/or 9 am. I do weight training about 30 min., toning butt/thighs/belly 30 min, and ab exercises 30 min. all 3x week. Is my exercise routine okay?
I am trying to eat mini meals. For ex: Here is what I am having today: breakfast- 1 cup cereal with low fat milk and fat free cocoa, Lunch- 1/2 sandwich with 1 tbsp pb and romaine lettuce, Afternoon snack- fruit, and Dinner- 3 oz. chicken and green veggies. I was told if I wanted to get a flat stomach to do a high protein/low carb diet which means less rice, fruit, starchy veggies etc. So am I doing it right?
Also most Tues and Thurs I don’t have time to do cardio for an hour. How much should I exercise on these days? I usually do it for 40 min. when on the elliptical. and I was wondering how much to eat that day. still 4-5 mini meals?
Actually, I have trouble doing cardio for an hour on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. NOT Tues and Thurs

How much cardio should I do to lose belly fat?

I’m 6′ 1 and weigh 175lbs. I’m slim, but have love handles. But i can see the outline of a six pack… I workout 5 days a wk, and run the treadmill about 15 minutes after each session. But I don’t want to lose too much weight. Thanks for the answers and support.
