Tips for losing weight the healthy way.
*Drink water-stay away from sodas, energy drinks, diet drinks, etc. STAY AWAY FROM CAFFINE!
*switch the starches for a fruit or vegetable
*stand on your tippy toes when your brushing your teeth.
*Take the stairs
*tap your foot in class
*sing to your favorite songs in the car
*dance when your getting ready in the morning
The real thing to do is to just stay active all day long. Even when your studying your body can be doing something. You'd be amazed at how far a little movement can take you!

To clear things up, fat and muscle don't REPLACE each other. They are both there, always, but they can either shrink or get bigger.
Don't worry about looking muscular, it's physically impossible for women to get bulky like men, unless they use steroids and follow strict diets and intense workouts (like female bodybuilders and fitness models).
Also, don't stress about the scale. Most of the women who look skinny, fit and toned weigh much more than you think they do.
You say you can't do any more than 10-15 of cardio, but that isn't enough for fat burning. Ideally, you need to do 30-60 min, especially if you want to get fit in such a short time. 10-15 is okay if you want your heart to stay healthy, but not enough if you are looking to get in shape.
True, you can't spot-reduce. Just stick to cardio to burn the fat, and do lunges with weights, climb stairs, leg lifts, bike, or run to tone up your thighs.
Most importantly, make sure you are eating healthy and drinking lots of water. Exercising and eating right go hand in hand. You can't expect results doing one thing and not the other. It doesn't matter too much about following a strict diet and counting calories as long as you eat lots of veggies and fruits. It's common sense to pick an apple over some chips.
