Sit ups do more for your hips than your abs. Crunches ("mini-sit-ups" where you only curl up a little bit), both straight and with a little twist, will address your abs. You should feel it before too long. If you think you can't do it right, try lying on your back with your knees bent, and just tightening up your belly. Put your hand under the small of your back, where the curve in is. You should feel your back pressing into your hand. Then, when you get the hang of it, you can remove your hand. That is a way to start working on your abs.
