Out of all of them, the plank is the most functional exercise, with Russian twists and the ab roller being the absolute worst for possible injury and effectiveness. You want to do your plank daily and simply hold the plank position as long as you can, and then better it each day you do it. Your diet must be the first thing you address though, as everyone has abs - even the largest most obese person still has abs. It's just a question of how much fat is covering them. Also worth noting, is that you only grow muscles with hypertrophy - which needs you to overload the muscle in order for it to then repair, and grow back a little more. Abs are holding your posture and you up at all times. In order to grow your abs more, then you will need to overload the muscle with resistance training such as barbell squats and deadlifts that hit the abs hard in order for you to stablise as you lift the barbell. Assuming you have access to a barbell, you can try 3 sets of 12-15 reps and increase the weight each time. Do this once a week and recover. As long as you remain in a daily calorifc surplus though, that fat laying over the top of the abs will mask any muscle gains you will achieve!
