Will ab exercises make you waist bigger?

Well, no, ab exercises won't generally cause your girth to increase due to muscle mass, but....
Abs exercises do not burn stomach fat. There's no such thing as spot-reduction, and so working a muscle does not specifically burn the fat surrounding it. To burn fat, your body needs an overall energy expenditure and calorie deficit, which means proper dieting and regular exercise that significantly elevates your heart rate for an extended period of time. In other words, for instance, cardio work such as running or cycling.

An abs workout could make your waist bigger, depending on your starting condition and what you're trying to accomplish. Your waist size says a lot about your overall health. If your waist is too big, it could lead to health complications, such as heart disease, high blood pressure and cancer.
If you want to lose waist size with an abs workout, implement an aerobic workout that will focus on burning calories and building muscle in your abdomen. Your aerobic routine should add up to at least 150 minutes weekly.
Common aerobics that you can do to accomplish this include swimming laps; running at 8 mph, kick boxing, stationary rowing and jumping rope. Interval training, where you place bursts of increased activity throughout your workout will also help you lose fat in your stomach.
For example, if you’re jogging at 4 mph for 30 minutes, every 2 minutes increase your speed to a run at 8 mph for 30 seconds.
Hope so it would help.
