Just looking for some advice or recommendations of exercises which I can do myself with no equipment at home, I have CFS and can only manage some light exercise, I'm not looking for a full workout just something to perhaps help with toning my tummy, arms and legs.

    You can't spot reduce. Eat in a calorie deficit and you'll lose weight.

    Try youtube and search for arm exercises, stomach exercises, etc.

    I suggest "You are your own gym" bodyweight plan.

    You can also just google or search on youtube for "at home workouts". Should see many many things.

    I wasn't thinking about the eating side of things, just the exercises I can use to help tone my body, I'm losing the weight fine just wanting to introduce some toning exercises for along the way :)

    Just to clarify, there is no such thing as "toning" exercises. It's a made up term to feminize lifting weights and doing resistance training...............which is what anyone does when they do a pushup (no such thing as a "toning" pushup) or do a dumbell curl ("toning" curls don't exist).
    That said:

    Body weight squats with hands over head
    Pullups (inverted if you can't do a hanging one)
    Pushups
