Crunches alone will not help you to lose weight. They will strengthen your abs, but they will not do anything for the flab on top of them, and they can often cause pudge to stick out and look worse. If you do other kinds of ab exercises you can effectively flatten your belly, but the only way to lose weight is to cut back your daily caloric intake and both strength train and do cardio, only using ab exercises to define/flatten your abs.

How much weight can you lose doing crunches everyday?

Not much burning of body fat or weight loss will occur by just doing 150 crunches per day. Reducing your calorie intake, moderately lifting weights in order to increase your metabolism, and participating in some regular cardiovascular exercise, will be more beneficial to weight loss than those 150 daily crunches. You will only see abdominal toning once some of the fatty abdominal layer has been burned- no matter how many crunches you do.
