ok, my dad has been trying to lose some fat on his stomach for quite some time now. (Ever since he had his apendix removed) Underneath the lair of fat he has rock hard abs, but he can't seem to get rid of the extra poundage. He does some cardio and as much weight training as possible. Any advice would be great.

Thanks,

It can be summed up in 3 words...diet, diet, and diet! If he is doing the weights and cardio, and you say his abs are rock hard underneath, then the only thing that keeps them from showing has to be diet. Maybe he should start out with a week or 2 of writing down everything he eats, and I mean everything, and what times. I think he will probably see some very positive changes he can make from this. Guesswork is vey hard when it comes to diet.
