If you like where you're at and don't want to get bigger muscles, you can maintain what you have by not increasing the weight (and not increasing your food & protein).
But still lift something, your bones need it!0 -

The reactions you have got are mainly an issue is of definition really. Bulky really means...well, bigger than you are (often more fat and muscle). You have muscle definition and are lean enough to show it.
If you do not like it, that is a preference and you are absolutely entitled to it. I would check out Strong Curves by Brett Contreras especially if you want to focus more on your booty than upper body (no idea if you do, but its a suggestion if you do).0 -
