I want to lose weight, but love my curves right now!

Curves are not dependent on weight. They won't go anywhere unless you go in extremes of either direction.

Tummy tuck? Lol you can't really pick and chose. Your boobs won't evaporate when you hit a special number, so why don't you continue to slowly lose weight (0.5 pound week or so) and stop when your tummy is where you want it or you notice boob loss. I think you might also want to try lifting heavy and eating maintenance to try for a little body recomp. I have lost only about 2 pounds, nothing in my cup size (sadly, because I'd like to go from an F to a DD so I can shop at normal people stores), but 3 inches off my waist doing 3 months of NROLFW.

Work on body composition rather than scale weight. An increase in lean body mass with a decrease in fat mass may accentuate your curves even more if you choose to do so and have the frame for it.

My curves became more prominent with my weight loss. I am also 5'8", but am around 152lbs. I was thinking I wanted to be 145 but I am happy where I am at. I am more focused on strength training rather then losing weight.

sounds like good advice.

Pretty sure that 5'8" and 165lbs is still a healthy BMI. WHY do you want to lose weight if you like your current body?

Exercise:
-Gym 3 or so times a week (at least to start off with, I also work to and from work everyday which is about a 30min power walk, I'll just change out of the heels so I can really pound the pavement haha!).
-At the gym: 30-40 minutes cardio and then 10 reps x 3 on all the weights machines along with lots of squats and lunges.
-I'd like to get into pilates, but that will get quite expensive on top of the gym, but ideally I'll try get into that eventually maybe.

What do you all think? Thank you again! xx

if you really want to affect a change, forget the machines, and go pick up a barbell.

ditch the cardio. maybe do 1-2 30 minute sessions on the cardio machines if you like, but i'd concentrate on strength training. full body circuits would be great for you.

squat and do lunges, but also start doing dead lifts. lots of dead lifts. they do a body good.

I'm sort of in your boat. I love the curves I have right now at 5 feet 6 inches 155 pounds but would like to be a smaller version of that curvy self
