    Limit down the cardio and focus on using weights and eating food with lots of protein

    No matter how much or little cardio you do, or how active you are, you have to eat above your TDEE to gain.

    Tone is a fancy word for lose body fat, which you do while in a calorie deficit and generally need resistance training (which walking won't really provide).

    So if you want to tone your body, a small deficit and a good fully body lifting routine will provide the best results. You may be interested in a program like Strong Curves since it has a greater focus on lower body...

    Do heavy compound exercises like squats with or without weights Ur thighs will grow fast lol
    If you really want to gain weight you need to have a calorie surplus
    That's it really

    Best of luck
