What can I do to loose stomach fat and gain abdominal muscles?

What exercises and tricks/ tips will help me loose A LOT of weight?
I don’t want to starve and i don’t want to eat gross food. I don’t want to do impossible exercises either. so what moves will halp me burn fat and gain muscule in the stoomach area?
I like weights and don’t like machines, and minor changes in diet( like size or food type) are what I am looking for.
OH, and an estimated time of how long results would take would be nice too!
