I've got a couple of articles that can help you identify the problem and strengthen the muscles.
But I know some of you will want more, perhaps even a full plan to help really build your core strength. For that I found an article over at military.com called Lose the Love Handles. The author, Stew Smith, was a Navy SEAL and is a fitness author certified as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) with the National Strength and Conditioning Association. (That means he's a trustworthy source of info, folks!) Smith, like Phillips and Rose, works the obliques and legs together.
The article is fairly long but the part you'll be interested in (a little over halfway down the page) is the Tuesday and Friday workout for the legs and love handles. You may not want to follow his workout precisely but it will give you an idea about what exercises are most effective for working these two areas.
And just a bit below that is a list of exercises for building the core, especially the stomach and lower back, if you're interested.
With winter just around the corner, now might be a good time to begin some simple core work to get ready for next year. These articles can get you started.
