Hey Ann and welcome
As the others have stated, you cannot target fat burn. The only thing you can do is lower your body fat percentage (the percentage of your body weight which is stored fat).
If I remember correctly, on woman the main fat storage areas are the bum, belly and thighs, on guys it's the lower back, chest and belly.
These are typically the areas which fat comes off last, and goes on first. So fat in these areas is pretty common, these areas are the places fat will be stored first and burnt last (if you have considerable amounts of fat in other places), which is a shame because it's mainly the areas people want it off from.
So the only way is to reduce your overall body fat.
Let me just say something quickly, it's not about what you eat, but how much. You can, in theory, eat whatever you like and still burn fat, but the tastier the food chances are the calorie content is high and vice versa. Although with healthy food comes added nutritional value and benefits.
Even loads of fruit and veg will make you fat, of course it would take longer than eating higher calorie foods which are packed with other bad things such as saturated fat, but it can still happen!
Reason is, pretty much all of the food you eat is converted into energy by the body, some food types more than others, for example carbohydrates will be converted totally into energy, and the likes of protein will only be partially broken down into energy and the other bits and pieces in it will be used elsewhere (such as the amino-acids for muscle growth).
And more energy than you require = fat. So what I suggest is:
High protein foods, low-medium carb's (complex carb's, such as oats, brown bread etc no simple carb's such as cakes, sweets, sugar etc but fruit is good) medium fat content foods (but NOT saturated fat!!).
Eat things like chicken breast, turkey breaks, salad (without dressing, or if you have it with dressing, be sure to check that dressing's stats, because this is one of the most infamous ways people get fat! By not watching all the extra wee bits and pieces they are consuming), oats, fruit, veg, fish, eggs etc.
The biggest tip I can give you is COUNT YOUR CALORIES! But counting calories is useless if you don't know what number you're counting to
so use a calorie calculator such as this one:

And DRINK WATER! At least 8 glasses a day!
