Great job on losing weight and getting fit. Strength training is so important. Although you are toning muscles, you cannot "spot tone" any particular area of your body. As long as there is body fat, it will be noticeable on the surface. In other words, the strong muscles you are building are kind of buried under the body fat.
Keep up the good work, eat a healthy balanced diet, and continue to work out and strength train. You will see changes, even if it’s not that perfect model’s body!
Im not a professional or anything, but of course you can get strong abs! First you must focus on loosing weight, or else you wont be able to see your abs (because there will be a layer of fat on top). After you’ve lost the weight you desire, then you can start building up
Its great that you’ve decided to take care of yourself 
You should watch some ‘My transformation’ videos on Youtube, they are very encouraging! Good luck!
