Losing my curves while losing weight

Hi all,
My weight loss started 2 months ago at 180 lbs. I'm now 151 lbs. although I'm happy about my weight loss I've noticed I've started to lose my 'curves' I've came to realization that my new body is no where near as curvy as my old body was. Most of my hips, butt, & boobs have gone down resulting in a 'flat' body. I'm happy I've lost weight but I keep telling myself I'm over exaggerating by missing my curves. Any tips as to what kinds of exercises I can do to slim my waist down but at the same time get bigger hips & thighs? My goal weight is 130 & I'm 5"3, so another question is, can I even have an hourglass shape at that weight? Is it unrealistic? I appreciate you taking the time to read this, & thank you for any advice you can give me.

    Follow any good strength training program (NROL, Stronglifts, personal trainer, etc).
    Eat at a slight calorie deficit to lose fat.
    Fat loss can't be targeted.

    First, congrats on the weight loss! Second, I think you still have curves and you look beautiful. But, to your original question. You can't spot reduce fat and if you aren't genetically an hourglass shape then you probably won't be an hourglass (though honestly in your pics you do look like an hourglass). That being said...building muscle can help with curves. Lifting heavy does amazing things for the female body. Pick a progressive overload strength training program and just go for it (a couple I see a lot in the forums are strong curves, stronglifts 5x5, starting strength, new rules of lifting for women...there are many others and many other threads in the forums mention them).

    Aw thanks so much! And yeah I still kind of am an hourglass but I guess my fat landed in all the right places to make that happen & totally makes sense about the muscle & that answers my last question about my goal weight being a little unreasonable to the body I want bc muscle weighs more than fat. Thank you so much for your time :)
