Continue losing weight if you feel it is needed.

From there, you may need to start lifting heavy to help firm things up. Love handles on skinnier people tend to be from lack of weight training rather than excess fat.

I love Handel's messiah. it's very relaxing and spiritually uplifting.

Love handles on the other hand...I could do with out. Unfortunately and cruelly we tend lose weight in areas we might not want to and the place we wish was slimmer takes forever to lose.
I lose weight off my face before my belly grrrrr

I would say first that it you could do crunches until the cows come home, all it will do is improve the muscle underneath the fat layer. You'll just need to continue to eat healthy and lose the fat, it'll come, you just need to be patient.
Second is that everyone gets a roll when they sit down! You have to get to a ridiculous BF% before it doesn't, it's not something to worry about.

Yep same as above, you can't spot reduce to lose fat in a certain area. All you can do is continue to eat at a deficit and hope it goes from where you want! The body is evil some times, I've lost from all over but will my *kitten* get any smaller, no it will not! I am pre-programmed to carry my wide load round with me unfortunately. I think it's nature's way of having a little laugh at us some times :bigsmile:
