Im looking for a good ab routine that i can do after my workouts that will get me cut?

I work out and play basketball probably about 5 days a week, I eat decent but not great but for the amount of time I put in the gym there is no way I'm not cutting fat daily. I have a good body but for some reason it seems like my ab workouts are lacking, I burn them out everyday I workout but the results at end of the week, and the next week aren't what I expect. I played college football so I know not to overwork my muscles and let them rest if I feel any strain, I look more for repetition rather than adding weight when Im doing abs. But it seems that I can never get that extra little fat in the front of my stomach to go away. Any suggestions on maybe adding weight to it? Switching it up? I figured it might have something to do with the protein intake I have so I've upped it a little bit. I figured trying to cut it rather than bulk it was my best option but it looks like I just need something changed? And any suggestions on a diet with a low income salary? 22 5'9 170lbs
