For skinny fat people, how long did it take you to get your six pack abs?

What would you say was the key to achieve your goal? More cardio? More weight lifting? I am trying to eat as healthy as I can for years. Doing cardio and weight lifting (with more focus on weight lifting). However, it seems like the fat in my midsection just doesnt want to go away. I am 5'10'' at 177 pounds now
