Agree here. You look amazing and your thighs are actually very thin. You just have a genetically wide pelvis(which many women wish they had). The only improvement I could see you wanting to make is lifting the booty a little and like @bbell1985 said, start adding in some hip thrusts, glute bridges, etc. I'm bottom heavy as well, but my legs look like your before picture even at very low levels of BF. You are doing great.0 -
weight training deadlifts squats also resistance loop stuff for thighs and maybe ankle weight as well with some floor thigh work0

I think the people who say "just keep going, eventually it will come off" are doing you a disservice.
Women's bodies function well at a certain % of body fat. Every woman stores that fat someplace different. It is never (or almost never) evenly blanketed over the entire body top to bottom.
Your body doesn't care where its stored, it only cares that its available. It doesn't think "My arms are 7% fat and y thighs are 28% fat." It thinks "Ah, I'm At a nice 25% overall!"
Your body doesn't see your thighs as "too fat," your body sees your thighs as "where I keep my important fat."
Imagine that the parts of your body are bank accounts where you keep your savings. No matter which account you draw from, your net worth doesn't change.
Long story short: Some people aren't going to be able to starve their hips away without taking their body to a body fat percentage that is unsustainable and possibly damaging.7 -

Thanks. True, I may be being a bit too hard on myself. But the scan even showed my uneven, and rather high fat distribution on my lower half. It's also currently often uncomfortable when I sit down. I've seen women who are amazingly lean top and bottom. That's my goal.
Comparison is the thief of joy
So I should ignore my dxa scan results? Yes or no?0 -

I think she meant the other women.
I wouldn't ignore it, but I wouldn't let it rule your life.2 -
You should try running give it a try for at least 6 weeks and measure to see if you see a difference0

How do you get the overall BF result? Do you average 15% and 29% = 22%? That's in the healthy range. How old are you?
While I agree with others that you are being too hard on yourself, you could work on body recomp so you are happier with what you see in the mirror.1
