first time postign here and need help!

Hello! this is my very first time posting here so ill give a little bit of my background story first!

I am 24 years old, 4'11 and started at 139lbs. I have two kids, a 5 year old and a 19 month old.

Before I every got prenant, i was 107lbs. After my son i stayed at about 129lbs. After the birth of my second child my weight was at 139.5lbs. For having such a small frame, this did NOT look good on me.

I started about three months ago eating cleaner and exercising everyday. we got a dog so i started walking him and running with him. I do the 30 day shred every so often and i also run on my treadmill.

Right now i am at 125.5lbs (down 14lbs) and i feel great. I have been getting compliments that my face and my thighs look skinnier. (which always feels amazing being complimented).

I just took my measurements for the first time last week (ill check back in with that in 3 weeks). So i can definitely tell i am losing weight.

However I am having issues with my belly (after two kids, we all know what this is like). it doesnt look like i am losing ANYTHING in my belly. i have noticed my love handles appear smaller though.

Another issue is my legs. I have SUCH stocky legs. i google target exercises for my legs but i dont notice them getting ANY slimmer. i thought they would from all the running ive been doing. I also have big ankles which i HATE.

any suggestions on how to work on these areas specifically? nothing seems to be working.

thank you!!
