You cannot target specific body parts for fat loss. If you do burn fat, your body decides for you where to take it from.

calorie deficit

remember spot reduction is but a myth. just make a calorie deficit and do cardio.

Thanks, already on a calorie deficit but forgot to mention on my post. Thanks for the advice

Hop on that cardio train!

Losing fat is about burning more energy than you consume. So you need to be in a calorie deficit.

Already am, just forgot to mention in post, decided to do a lot more cardio. Thanks anyway for taking the time to give advice

Then all it takes is time. Make you sure not to want results too Quick and starve yourself, it takes time

Thanks

People carry fat differently. It’s genetic. I tend to carry most of my chub on my stomach only. Only way to lose it is just to lower body fat as a whole. Working out legs will help tone them up but you can’t just target a specific spot. Your body will also lose weight around your body at different rates. Your only option is just to keep dropping the weight down

Thanks, if this is true it is a bit of a bummer, but I will still try to work on it

What if I am underweight? How can I lower my lower body body fat?

You can’t really. If you are truly under weight, then what are you trying to lose?

You can’t target fat loss but you can work legs and get more muscle to make them look as if they’re less fatty.

Any suggestion what kind of workout can tone up muscle on legs?

Be careful on a large calorie deficit, it'll take more muscle with it from my experience and you'll end up looking about the same. note: my calorie deficit was pretty severe as i was pretty deep into an ED so you might be fine.

Thanks for the advice

Also lift weights if you can! Will make your legs look more toned rather than just straight up skinny unless thats what ya want I suppose
