See, this is why in person teaching is better. I found this picture on the internet:
The diaphragm is underneath your lungs. When you breath in, the diaphragm relaxes and drops down, creating a vacuum and drawing air into the lungs. In order for this to happen efficiently, your abdominal muscles must move out when you breath in.
When you exhale, the diaphragm tightens and lifts, pushing air out of your lungs, and the abs need to help support the diaphragm by moving in. If properly done, the support even involves the lower muscles in your groin somewhat. When you breath properly, your chest should be expanded and stay that way, and your abs should move in and out.
When you stand, raise your arms above your head. Your chest will expand. Now lower your arms but keep the chest in the same position. That's the position you need to sing in. Don't let your chest sag when you breath out.
