Does doing Zumba and running help reduce stomach fat?

I am 5'3 and doing exercises in my Zumba DVD. I am not chubby, but I do have fat in my stomach that I would like to get rid of. Do you think that by doing 30 minutes jogging and 30 minutes zumba each for 3 days help me lose my stomach fat?

By the way, I eat healthy stuff, except for the occasional pizza every now and then.

Update:

I'm sorry I meant walking. Walking for 30 minutes

    Hey, if you want to see results, you better be willing to keep at this eating right, drinking water and exercising thing that 85% of the world is opposed to. It's gonna take you a lot longer than a week to really lose any fat. It will probably take about 6 months to see any results worth celebrating. 30 minutes isn't enough. For the first 30 minutes your body is using the food you've eaten as energy, after that it starts to ACTUALLY burn fat. So try 45 minutes, minimum, and try doing it 5 days a week. You may be eating less, but you may not be eating healthy. Make sure your diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and very little grains and dairies.

    Eat lots of lean protein. Beans, nuts, and lean meat are rather good for you as long as you do not eat the fat!

    Do aerobic exercises daily. Cardio exercises will heat up your core temperature and improve circulation, both of which will aid in acquiring a flat stomach. Strive for at least 30 minutes a day minimum, but include one to two days of rest each week.
