Jet- it sounds like you're doing your squats the right way. Well, by drawing them in, do you mean sucking in? Or do you mean chest full of air & flexing the abs? You have to keep a tight core when squatting or you can hurt yourself & make the squats less effective. Just make sure you breathe in, hold, keep abs tight and then squat. Breathe out when you're back up.
When doing ab exercises, only do front abs, don't do side abs. Working out your abs, just like any muscle, makes them bigger. If you're trying to draw in your waist on the sides, avoid side ab workouts, it'll only make your side abs bigger. Also if you're trying to loose a belly, wait until its pretty flattened out before beginning ab exersizes.
