Well, the title says all. I'm a bit over weight, I'm 138 pounds and about 5'2" - 5"4. Not sure exactly how tall. I have a naturally "curvy" body type, with fairly thick thighs, big boobs and a big butt/hips. I'm hoping to drop about 20 - 25 pounds and lose some body fat. But, I'm a pear. So that means I gain weight in my hips/thighs and I hate it!!

I have minor saddlebags, and I really dislike them. They're about like this:

And, I just truly want to reduce them as much as possible. I know it's partially genetics, but if there's anything I can do, that would be great. I already do lots of squats (different variations, including "plies") and I do lunges (like side lunges, too). I can't go out and run or sprint, so I have to make due with inside exercises.

Is there any advice anyone can give me? :((

    you can't spot reduce fat.

    in order to lose fat you need to eat at a calorie deficit. but you cant target fat loss
