How to lose all this fat I have?
20/female
I'm at a perfect weight, but my upper and lower arms are still SOOOOO fat. My stomach still looks as if I am 3 months pregnant. My thighs still are WAY too fat as well as my lower legs.
I dont want to starve myself or anything. but like what should i eat/drink and what exercises (i have 3 pound dumbbells and a stability ball and a treadmill, btw) should I do to lose (or tone) all this fat? Like ***literally*** lose/tone it.
(****** I DON'T WANT ANY MUSCLE WHATSOEVER******)

You might want to have Mom dig out all the photographs of your ancestors on both sides of the family. Does anyone have upper arms way chubbier than the forearms and so on? It doesnt have to be Mom or dad but your grandparents, their siblings/your aunts and uncles who may have had this body shaping. It just may be normal, as strange as you may think it is.
At your age, as a young adult, you are free to have a romantic interest, a love life and so of course you will worry about your appearance and ability to attract a guy, at least subconsciously if not fully cognizant that this is a concern. The truth is that not matter what shape a female comes in, there are men who either like or don't mind that particular shape. I've known guys who weren't interested in me cus I am too petite and slim. All their female relatives were hefty, big boned or chubby women and I was too small to feel normal to them, even for a love interest.
So, I have a daughter who is a yoga instructor. From what I have observed, yoga is a great way to tone your muscles, slim up a little without gaining any bulky visible muscles. You may find you have stronger muscles but it won't show. You might try first checking out books of different types of yoga. Most yoga classes offered today are all about healthy stretches for the body instead of any meditation. Decide on which type looks most interesting to you and sign up for a class. The daughter also eats mostly food from health food stores, going for organic and gluten free.
As long as what you eat is not junk food or prepackaged meals, but more of made from scratch like use of fresh fruits and veggies, and then your choice of proteins, you should be fine.

Hi.
If you are at the perfect weight then I think what you need to focus on is toning up as opposed to losing weight.
The best thing you can do is speak to a personal trainer who can advise you on exactly the exercises to do to get the best benefits and results. You should be able to visit a gym to do this (ask if they offer a consultation with a personal trainer with membership) but if not there are a LOT of personal trainers you can approach who will be more than happy to draw up a plan for you to follow for a one off fee or alternatively you can check online as there as many professional personal trainers who offer this service online (I actually know one who does this and is very good - he offers personal visits to his clients but he has many clients who are based entirely online too).
I am by far no professional when it comes to personal fitness so I can't speak as a personal trainer but I think for the results you are looking for it will come down to training more than what to eat and what not to eat but again, I can not say this with absolute certainty. I think all you really need to do is tone up the specific muscles where you think they don't seem right.

1) you are the perfect weight so you do not want to change weight.
2) you want to lose fat
3) you do not want to gain muscle whatsoever.
I can not imagine how you could achieve that all three.
it is impossible to lose fat, not gain muscle and still maintain the same weight.
