Gaining and Losing Weight !

hadija7769

Hey guys ! I’m new to this platform and fitness journey ! There is so much I don’t know and it can get pretty overwhelming real quick . I want to grow and build a more fuller and toned butt but I want to slim down my thighs and maintain a skinny waist and also lose weight on my flabby arms . I’m 5’4 and I weight 124 pounds . I want to gain but also lose weight in some areas . What is the proper diet for this type of fitness goal ? I don’t know whether I should eat more to gain but if that also will contribute to weight gain around the areas I want to lose weight !! So tough and confusing !! Any advice will be much appreciated for this newbie !!

The best thing to do if you want to lose fat and gain muscle would be to recomp, see this link for details:

Eat at maintenance, get ~0.8-1g protein per lb bodyweight, and make sure you are following proper programming, Strong Curves is good for the glutes, there are many others too:

You won't be gaining fat in areas unless you eat in a surplus over time. With recomp you will be adding muscle to the places of stimulation and losing fat according to genetics. Just remember it can be a very slow process so patience is key.
