One side toner than other side! What do I do?

I've noticed over the last few months that my left side of my lower body is more tone and skinner. I'm trying to even out my exercise but i am guessing that one side is stronger. I still have a lot of weight to go so I don;t know if I should worry about it now or later.
Is there some quick exercises I can do just for the right to help it catch up
It's driving me crazy cause I have some nice cuts on my left side that I don't have on my right....

is it possible you have one leg longer than the other, a slight curve in your spine, or posture issues?
it might be from daily walking around rather than workout time.
worth considering perhaps?0 -
Not that I'm aware but I do a lot of walking because of my dog and baby....It's great exercise for me...0

if you do more walking than working out then i would wager it's something to do with that. do you carry a bag or walk the dog on one side? is the stroller even?Not that I'm aware but I do a lot of walking because of my dog and baby....It's great exercise for me...
you might be able to tell more by how your shoes wear down. are the left & right wearing the same way?
...or i might be barking up the wrong tree.0 -

Have a doctor check out to see if your pelvic bone is out of place so then they can rotate it back into place. That is what happened to me.0 -
Do you carry your baby on one hip more then the other, or carry groceries with one arm more then the other?0

A chiropracter may also be great to assess this0 -
I have the same issue and it drives me bananas. I never thought about it until I read this thread, but I do tend to carry everything on my left side/left arm and that just happens to be the slimmer side.0

yes I carry the baby on the left side because I'm right handed and I can do other tasks with that hand..I also what the dog with my left hand.0 -

the dog I mostly walks on my left. she's a big dog 60 pounds and is a puller. The stroller is a really good one so I don't think that's it. I checked the bottom of my shoes and the right is more woren down0 -
well you have your answer! it may or may not be the dog, but the shoe wear is telling. one leg is working harder.
