Stomach is a concern

Alright let me explain......I was skinny earlier but ever since I started exercising jan 2005, i put on weight and started bulking up. I now have gained considerable amount of muscle (chest,biceps,triceps and shoulders). However, I have also started developing a tummy. Although it is small, I do not want it to get larger. I do ab exercises every other day (declined crunches,normal crunches). I cannot cut out on my diet as I need to eat to bulk up further and put on weight. What should be done in such a case?
 
Ok I'm pretty new here and by no means an expert but the way I understand it you are to expect some unwanted fat gain while in the bulking phase. That is why you eventually want to switch over to a cutting phase in which you focus on cardio and cut down on your calorie intake in order to lose all the fat you gained while bulking. In the meantime I don't think there's a whole lot you can do without sacrificing muscle gain.

If I'm wrong I'm sure someone who has been around a while will correct me =P
 
I don't think there is much you can do until you switch to a cutting phase, as previously stated by Xardioso. Working abs isn't going to make that fat go away. Are you doing any cardio? I would just deal with it untill your done with your bulking cycle, that's me though...
