I still have that "lumpy" look??
I've clearly lost some fat...do you think it might have something to do with my ribs sticking out? They've been prominent ever since I was a kid, lying down makes them look like a pair of extra boobs lol. So no I'm also not sucking my stomach in either.
I know I can't change my ribs...and I'm happy with losing fat...but it still doesn't look good enough to me
Here's how I looked before I started exercising: http://tinyurl.com/mol5rqd

Sorry I can't add pictures or proper links.

I have prominent rib bones, too. Standing. I think everyone looks sunken laying flat on their back.
You could eat at maintenance and pick up a heavy lifting barbell routine. Lifting weights helps with body comp, make sure you're eating around 1g per pound of lean body mass. A slight surplus to gain muscle might even help. I dipped down to 115 lbs before I reversed to bulk and going back up to 120 lbs and looking at myself at that weight before my bulk, my stomach has improved. It's a very slow process though. You just have to stick it out0 -
I second BombshellPhoenix's advice.
And FWIW, I think you look fantastic. Congrats on the weight loss!0
