Ignore the haters .. skinny fat is an insult the same as calling somebody fat or skinny
that said , continue what you are doing..exercise wise if you are wanting to see some muscle. You won't get bulky...
grab some scales though to be sure of exactly what you are eating, then go from there once you start to understand macros and calories
good luck
What the hell? She is 5' 2 with a bodyweight of 45kg which gives her a BMI of 18.1 .. well under underweight with all the health implications that brings - putting on 8.9kg would put her in the middle of the healthy weight range
She should not be eating only 1200 calories
She should be eating above maintenance and lifting progressively heavier
where is this information in her original post ?

School and work is really tiring so it's the best I could do. I'm attending an important event on July 30, and I need to get a better figure.

Skinny fat is not an insult. It has become a common term for someone who has put themselves into a catoblic state resulting in a body composition that comprises of little lean mass and high body fat.
IMHO it is often meant in a derogatory manner, hence an insult if it directs a young woman here worrying about her appearance.
Common usage of a term doesn't mean it cannot be used in an insulting manner..... as I suspect in this case
It can be, yes, and I hope it wasn't in this case (was it, OP?)
However, I think it's a useful idea in that it can provide a language for dissatisfaction that leads to a solution that is NOT starving and losing more weight. I.e. strength training and recomposition, which is what I think you should do, OP.0 -

Are you referring to yourself or me?
Because her OP did mention her height and weight which is the major issue as it puts her at underweight
It's OK to make a mistake ..it happens when you skim read or respond quickly ..not a big deal, just wouldn't have wanted bad advice to stand0
