Unfortunately you can't lose weight in a specific area. Your body will determine when and how the weight will come off. it's just a simple matter of genetics.
The only thing you can do is leg exercises to firm and tone the muscles up in your legs.

To lose fat:
Calorie deficit
To give definition and shape:
Make sure enough protein in diet even if in deficit.
Follow a lifting program that concentrates on compound lifts.1 -
Eat in a calorie deficit. You will lose fat from all over. Outside of surgery you cannot spot reduce fat. (There is one study that had the participants do something like a bajillion leg presses (or maybe leg extensions) to lose an infinitesimally small amount of size on their thighs but that mostly proved that spot reduction is not a reasonable goal.)0
