First, doing ab exercises won't get your abs to show; it's all about reducing your bodyfat % through diet. Second, there is no distinction between upper and lower abs.

Yeah I lost alot of weight during Boot camp, both muscle and fat, this was mainly due to starvation I only ate three meals a day, plus the food we ate wasn't that "healthy" and also they worked our asses off constantly, when I graduated I was really skinny, something I did not like at all, it was almost as bad as being overweight. During my schooling I gained another 20 lbs. in 2 months, I tried working out as much as possible but never had much time, so now that I'm out of that I have more time to focus on my diet and exercise routine, I'm just not sure where to start, currently I'm taking in around 2500 calories, before the military I consumed around 2000 (which I guess was a little low) during school I gradually upped it to 3300-3500, now I'm at 2500-2600, I'm trying to add more healthy lean protein into my diet, along with fiber, "good" carbs, and plenty of H2O and diet green tea. I gonna take up weight training again, but I'm not sure if I should add cardio along with it, or if I should cut my caloric intake, or both;I'm weary to do both because that's how I became really thin in the first place, and throughout all of this weight fluctuation I've had this pudge around my midsection, not sure if it's stubborn fat or loose skin ,so I'm sorta lost,any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, B.Paul

Cutting calories is very effective - just make sure you're eating the right foods. Eat things that are highly nutritious and if you happen to get thinner than you want, consume more calories. Keep it simple. Remember that everything is in your control, basically. You control the outcome of this so go ahead and experiment. The worst that could happen is that a method won't work.

Forget your weight, what is your body fat?

Read the stickies in here and in the diet section. Put together a resistance training routine that you perform 2-3 days per week, and possibly supplement that with cardio another couple days each week. Then, whip up a diet based on the sticky in the diet section. Post your training routine and diet plan that you devise in their respective sections, and we will take a look.
