If by help you mean destroy, then definitely, squatting is a very intense exercise which uses many muscles. Compound weight lifting movements like squats not only builds muscles but burns fat at the same time since your often heart rate jacks up considerably while squatting heavy. Higher heart rate= more fat being burned. Also, the extra muscle gained actively burns fat while not even exercising.

Remember, you can not spot reduce an area. You can not just chose to burn fat in your belly because you want to, you can only reduce your TOTAL body fat, which will include your belly. Remember that your diet is just as important if not more, as exercise for burning fat.

No. It will only make the muscle under that fat bigger. A good diet combined with a high cardio workout is the only way to lose fat. i think it helps a lot with the top area of your butt if you are looking to raise and firm you'll have to do some raises and some lunges for your glutes
