Now (didn't feel like staying below 10% body fat which were the "after" measurements)
Approximately 120 pounds and 11% body fat. I no longer use the scale or take measurements. I simply go by how I look in the mirror and how my clothes fit. I've been maintaining for over a year anywhere between 10%-12% body fat. When you reach your goal you don't stay in one spot, it moves around with the events of life. The same tools you use to lose weight apply for maintaince. You enjoy life and feasts and celebrations, and then at some point you reign it in and get back to business again until the next round of social events.

As for your question: The leaner you get the more fat you will lose in your butt and upper legs. That is usually the last to go, and it's harder (or nearly impossible) to get rid of that completely if you are taking birth control pills. The only time you have to really worry about that is if you decide to compete in a fitness competition (I have never done that). But really that little bit of fat left is what makes you look womanly and curvy and it's beautiful. As you lose that last bit of fat (if you are so inclined) then you must do a lot of glute and leg exercises or you will end up with a flat pancake butt.

But really all women look good with all the glute and leg exercises and you do not have to worry about getting "bulky" even if you lift heavy. "Bulky" is usually either fat, steroids, abuse of hormones, or a combination combination of those. I'm all natural but when I had a lot more fat (and lifted heavy) I looked bulky, and when I was more lean I looked more hard and ripped (even though I was never big), and when I'm more in between I look more "toned" and as my husband says "more curvy" and he says I have more of a pleasant looking "bubble butt". You can have whatever you want, it's all a result of how much fat you decide to leave on your body and how much you decide to work your glutes and legs with weight lifting.

Every girl looks better with leg and butt exercises though:
