On my last few pounds

Swaggerr

I weigh 167lbs and I'm around 5ft8/9 and on the BMI scale I'm 24.7, to be happy I'd maybe like to lose another 5 or 6 pounds.
The last week or so I've laid off the dieting because of Christmas time etc...
But I'm still not happy with my appearance and size

What is it going to look like when you get there?
Are you too skinny?
Not enough lean muscle?
What is your body fat%?

Maybe its time to look into building lean mass?

Build some muscle for the rest of the winter and forget about weight and fat for a while.
It's what i'm doing and its kinda nice being able to eat almost 3k calories a day.

You already know how to drop the fat so imagine doing it for maybe 2-3lbs of extra fat but revealing 5lbs of new muscle!

I was within 5 pounds of goal and still wasn't happy. I was only doing cardio so I looked into strength training. I don't like weight lifting (boring) so I ended up taking a pilates class. I now do it 2x/week and it has really transformed my body. I am just about at goal and am now pretty happy with how I look as I am more toned (tighter butt, abs, stronger arms, etc.). I would find a strength activity you enjoy. The difference it makes will amaze you.

I am currently about 173-174 and also 5"8-9'

I am trying to get down to 165 but have sort of stalled on the weight, but am still losing inches on my waist, belly, and hips so I must be gaining muscle.

I mostly bike so I felt myself getting a bit thin in the arms and legs.
I started eating a little more and have been doing Yoga for about 2 months 1 time a week in a class, and a few times a week at home.
I also do pushups, crunches, and some squats.

Id like to get rid of the belly and get below 170 without compromising a little strength. I am somewhat stocky though so I want more of the lean look than the muscled one.
