Yes, definitely to have a flat ABS and improve the area you need a Standard tummy tuck with Muscle repair to fix the extra skin, plus cut all the stretch marks below the navel. (Walkiris Robles, MD, Dominican Republic Plastic Surgeon)
I would recommend a full tummy tuck with liposuction of the hips and flanks for optimal contour. I do think your skin has visible stretch marks, which means it has been stretched beyond repair by conservative measure.
Diet and exercise will be important to maintain your tummy tuck result. I wish you a wonderful result. (Paul S. Gill, MD, Houston Plastic Surgeon)

Mini tuck vs full standard tummy tuck
From you photographs I would suggest you consider a full tummy tuck. Post pregnancy, your core has been overstretched and will not return unless it is tightened and then the skin is re-draped.
I also noted that you have stretch marks and they will not go away without being removed surgically. The location of excess fatty tissue and quantity are the best indications of the type of procedure you will need. This is best determined during an actual examination.
Pl visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to really get specific answers to your questions. (Raj S. Ambay, MD, Tampa Plastic Surgeon)
