Nope, it’ll just tone the abdominal muscles under that layer of fat. Keep doing the cardio. If possible, step it up a bit so you’ll continue to burn fat throughout your entire body; then you can start toning your body.

Protein will also help in that your muscles will have more raw building material (amino acids) to bulk up. Just don’t overdo it with the protein as it may just turn into fat or get you poisoned.
