I haven't the slightest idea what conversion to pounds is from stones so I'm kinda lost there. I will say that you sound like you want to gain muscle (you said tone) Best way is to lift weights. If you are flabby, weights are your friends. Good luck!!

She's 157lb (same weight as me), her friend is 168lb

Your friend has a better body composition due to her genetics and her muscles

You need to eat at, or just below maintenance and lift heavy (also don't use the word tone round here, it's a made-up definition) what you need is more muscles

(Copy and pasting standard schtick, cos I can't be bothered re-writing it )
