I first thought you meant your lats, but when I reread what you said, it sounds as if you are talking about the front/side of your body (since that is where the ribs are mostly visable).

The muscles that run down the sides of your stomach in a slanted direction are called the obliques. In order to build them you need to incorporate a new set of exercises into your stomach workout. While doing a crunch, twist your body to one side focusing on the oblique muscle, then repeat for the other side.
