Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
work out everyday for 20mins-1 hour and 30 mins. also go on a diet. a REALLY easy way to loose weight is to eat only fruit, but that would make you crap alot. i went on the LA weight loss and lost alot of weight in 2 months like 20, but i didnt work out.. so have fun

13 pounds seems a bit excessive, fyi, you're already thin. You say that you want to lose weight in your legs and abs. There really isn't a way to lose weight in specific places before other places, you just have to let it come off as it pleases naturally.
I don't reccomend weight training your legs, or they'll get bulky, which, I'm sure you don't want. Doing crunches every other day (not every day, or it won't work) will both tighten your abs a little bit and increase your metabolism. When you do a crunch, lie on your back and put your arms at your sides. Lift your torso off the floor, USING YOUR ABS. If you use your back, it won't work. Consentrate on using your abs. Also, do leg lifts. Lie on your back and lift both legs a couple inches off the ground and hold. Hold until it hurts a good bit. Release and repeat about 20 times. Do this on the same day you do your crunches.
On your off days, do cardio. Run, jump, skip, dance, anything that gets you moving in general. Do at LEAST 20 minutes at a time, or it'll be a waste. 30 minutes is preferable.
You likely don't want to diet, but if you would continue eating as you like and only drink water (no soda, juice, or anything else), it will make a big difference. Especially COLD water. Drink it all day. The more you drink, the less water weight you will retain. (A common cause of tummy pooches). Also it will help you digest faster, and, therefore, speed up metabolism.
Happy Slimming!
