I have an issue... I'm 5' 3" and 130lbs so I'm not "fat" but I've got a bit of softness. My problem is indentions from my underwear and pants on my hips and my lower stomach. My clothes are not too tight, if I wear them any looser they'll fall off but this still gives me the look of a "muffin top" especially on my stomach. How do I get rid of these???

    I have that too but it is getting much better as I lose fat. Strength training and core work help too.

    Overall fat loss. Set a small calorie deficit (1/2 lb per week and eat 50% of your exercise calories or 20% below tdee) and heavy weight training. Adjust your macros to about 35% carbs, 40% protein and 25% fats. Wt + high protein will help maintain your lbm and the wt will improve fat loss.

    ive been doing the calorie deficit thing. i'm trying to do more weight/strength training.. do you have any suggestions for beginners?? maybe i'm not doing enough. and i really do need protein but i'm not much of a meat eater. my brother did suggest some whey protein that he's using to bulk up but not sure if that will help me. help?
