A lot of that is natural, but if you workout the muscles in your legs/butt, your butt muscle can get a little bigger, and trimming down will make it look more shapely. Fat tends to remove the appearance of curves.

How can you make a weakened muscle stronger and lean again? |
Fat loss is the key regardless. Those ab muscles won't show if you don't lose weight. Doing ab exercises doesn't make abs all of a sudden appear, contrary to what many might think. It's really the fat loss that helps more than anything. That being said, you will want to do lower ab exercises to streghten this area. There are plenty of women who have had C-sections who were then able to get very tone flat stomachs from good ab workouts and weight loss.
