You are probably weak. Strength training is the solution.

The best option would be to learn to lift weights. Starting Strength, a 3-times-a-week barbell program, is a good option. StrongLifts 5x5 is also commonly recommended. (See this questionthis question.)

  • BMI is not a valid metric for individuals. Please don't misuse it, or allow others to misuse it, by applying it to people instead of populations.
  • Why do you want core exercises? I hope you have not fallen prey to the distressingly common virus called Believing in Spot Reduction! You can't get rid of belly fat with crunches or any other targeted exercise.
  • I am not convinced that you have a weak core, since you haven't stated any reasons for believing so. You might be weak generally, but as bodybuilders say, everywhere is a weak point if you don't lift.
