    Well unfortunately there is no way to spot reduce. The only way to lose that fat is to lose weight and lose body fat % until it decides to drop.

    Also usually the first place you gain is the last place to lose (aka, the last place you gain is the first place you lose). So if you've had that fat your whole life it is likely going to be some of the last fat you lose. I can attest to this since I have had ginormous thighs my whole life and they are definitely the last place I have lost weight.

    Upper body strength training helped me .. I'm 43.
    The trapeze might be worth trying to start. :)

    Continue with a combo of cardio and strength training. You should work on your biceps, triceps, deltoids, shoulders. I usually pick a day, two times a week to do just upper body. If all else fails, doing push ups are the perfect exercise!
