Getting rid of a gut

My man has a gut. Its not the flabby saggy looking thing and that such, but it looks like he swallowed a basketball. He has quite a large stomache but its just round. I can't quite explain it any more, I hope you know what I mean. Anyways we go to the gym every other day but he does just smidgeon of cardo then does some weights on the stomache machines. But I don't think hes doing much in the general scheme of things to help. Do any of you have ideas?

When trying to blitz the last refuge of fat on my body (love handles) it was very hard going, the body will try and horde fat for times of need and you really have to work to shift it. Try getting him to do a day or two of cardio exercise rather then lifting (he can go back to his normal weight routine afterwards).
Get him to cut out the beer - Not only does it contain many calories but alcohol interfers with testosterone and the metabolism, making it harder to lose weight. Try taking in 500 fewers calories a day (another reason to skimp on weights and go for cardio) everyday until the gut disapears.
Abs work will DEVELOP stomach muscles but only by dieting and eating the right types of food will they show up.I have learnt this the hard way.... :banghead:
Edit: Beat me to it
The rest of him looks fine, hes got fine looking legs, arms, face, its just the tummy I was always taught a full body work out works the best even if just looking to lose in one section, but I dont know much
