Be patient and it will eventually go away with clean diet and cardio.
 
I did notice that my face and fingers did get thinner before any other part of me.


EDIT:  For you to have a full six-pack, you will need a very low over all body fat %

It sucks, but that's the way the human body works- The best method is to go through bulking and cutting phases, where you pick one goal or the other and stick to it for a predetermined amount of time, or until you reach a predetermined weight. Timewise, it takes your body a while to adjust to both phases, so you can't really bulk one week and cut the next and expect the best results. I've found that it takes me three or four months to see a noticable difference in the way I look whenever I change anything about my routine or diet.
Having said that, it's always a good idea to do cardio and lift- Cardio helps keep you in good cardiovascular shape after all, which weightlifing is no substitute for.
While the body doesn't react well to trying to add muscle and lose fat at the same time, people have tried with some decent results- But generally speaking you end up getting to a point where you can't go any further without switching to a total cut or bulk plan.

Seriously though, the entire fitness industry generates billions of dollars per year easy off of people looking for the next new thing- the easy way out. Take the number one source of irritation for most people- The abs- and you'll see all sorts of fads and gimmick products out there for it- and promises to "trim that gut and get the six pack you've always wanted" in a few short weeks. The media propogates the idea that if you do situps, you'll lose fat from your gut, which is just plain false. But people spend so much money on it, every damn company out there has been latching on to some trick or another- Electric belts fall into that category. If you ask me, a decent workout plan, a nice cutting plan and some cardio is all any average person needs to get that flat stomach or six pack- But it takes work and patience and dedication, which the average person doesn't really have. DO NOT fall for the gimmicks- Stick to the basic info you see here, and stay focused and true to your diet and workout routine- You don't need all that garbage.
