I had my baby almost 3,months ago via c-section  and I've had a lot of people tell me its hard to loose the weight in that area after. What's the best work out to get rid of it almost completely?

It's a nice idea you've got in mind. I have a sister in law who also gave birth with C-section and she hardly got back in shape after. Her tummy looks like she is still pregnant because she forgot to exercise after she gave birth.
So it would be nice if you try to get back in shape before it's too late however, 3months is quite crucial to engage in strenuous exercise even just sit-ups. So it would be better if you watch your diet and avoid sitting right after eating your meal.

Your recovery from a C-section takes longer than from a vaginal birth, so don’t immediately rush into a weight-loss program. Wait until eight weeks post-partum, if you’re breast-feeding, if not breast feeding then 6 weeks should be OK to attempt to lose weight. Then gradually start an exercise program, eat right. After a C-section walking helps recovery and prevents blood clots.
Start slowly and engage in aerobic and toning exercises. Walking, jogging, swimming, biking and abdominal exercises are good. An increase in your activity level and eating 100 fewer calories will help you lose weight and is a safe if you’re breast-feeding.
A healthy breakfast, which will give you needed energy and prevent fatigue. Eat five to six small meals a day and never skip a meal. Drink eight to nine glasses of fluid a day I suggest water. Water helps to flush out fat as you lose weight. Select whole grain breads, rice and pastas over refined grains, and eat fresh fruits and vegetables. For protein, eat lean meats, eggs, fish and nuts, and choose low-fat dairy products.
No salty foods, soda, sugary juice, and candy. Choose fruits and vegetables instead. Be careful with the fruit some are high in sugar.

Google the following exercises to see how to perform them!
                                    
                                            Bridge
This exercise does not place excess strain on your C-section stitches, yet helps to tone the stomach. Start by lying on your back with your feet flat on the floor, with your legs hip-width apart. Straighten your arms at your sides with your palms on the floor. Contract your stomach muscles to lift your buttocks, then your stomach and then your middle back off the floor. Do not lift your shoulders off the ground. Hold this position for 10 seconds, then lower the body to the ground. Repeat four to eight times.
                            
                           Lower Abdominal Slide
This exercise is especially beneficial for new moms after c-section because it targets the lower stomach muscles, which are affected by surgery. Start by lying on your back with your feet flat on the floor with your arms straight at your sides, palms facing down. Keep the pelvis tucked in to work the muscles. Contract your abdominal muscles to slide your right leg straight out, slowly and in a controlled motion. Use the muscles again to bring the leg in to your starting position. Repeat on the opposite leg, taking deep breaths as you do. Repeat three to five times on each leg.  
                    
                                    Forward Bend
This standing exercise helps to strengthen your abdominal muscles and can be performed throughout the day. Start by standing with your feet hip-width apart. Lift your arms overhead and bend your torso forward at your hips, creating a 90-degree angle between your legs and your torso. Hold this position for 10 seconds, then return to your standing position. Try to keep your back as flat as possible during this exercise. Repeat four to eight times.

As for the Cardio. I suggest doing the following!
Do the The Peak 8 routine it will quickly raise your heart rate 8 times for very short bursts, with a cooling down period in between. Ideally you’ll be sprinting or cycling full throttle for 30 seconds with a 90 second cool down in between each outburst.

This is the fastest way to lose fat and build muscle in the body. Peak 8 actually stimulates the growth hormone in the body. I encourage you to visit Dr Mercola’s site to learn more about Peak 8 fitness because I personally feel that it is one of the best ways to exercise, especially considering the speed at which you can lose fat and build muscle.

I highly recommend you read this article and watch the videos on the page. It will give you all the information you need to know about Peak 8 – Flood Your Body With This “Youth Hormone” In Just 20 Minutes

What you eat after Peak 8 training does matter

It’s recommended that you do not eat sugar or carbohydrate for 2 hours after the Peak 8 exercise because these foods can impact the release of the growth hormone in the body. The links are

Figure your heart rate by this formula
The formula involves using your maximum heart rate (MHR) minus your age to come up with a target heart rate range (which is a percentage of your MHR). Staying within this range will help you work most effectively during your cardio workouts.
Subtract your age from 220 the number left is your maximum heart rate.
you want to stay between 65% - 85% of your maximum heart rate
You burn 30 percent more fat from doing cardio after a weights session as opposed to cardio on its own.
I suggest going to a sports shop and buying a heart rate monitor and an
interval timer about $20. heart rate monitor about $30
BEFORE DOING ANYTHING THAT I SUGGESTED PLEASE GET THE OK
FROM YOUR DOCTOR!!!!!
