I am 5 feet tall and I currently weigh 44.4kg which is about 98 pounds. I started out as 105 pounds or so, then I decided to make some changes. I started using my fitness pal on and off. Though I've lost a few inches, it doesn't seem like it made much of a difference, despite the number of pounds I've lost. My stomach isn't flat and even though my BMI is lower than my friend's, I still have more belly fat than her.
Before the summer of 2013, I used to be about this weight but I'm pretty sure I was a lot skinnier and about the same height, though I didn't weigh myself much back then and I didn't measure either.
I have quite big bones (or so I believe) and my thighs are 19 inches. They are quite muscular but they also do have a layer of fat on them. My upper body is relatively skinny, so I believe I'm pear shaped. My waist is 58cm which should be about 23 inches.
I achieved this weight loss mostly by eating healthier and I've also increased my intake of water quite a lot, which seems to have helped. I'm trying to work some more exercise in.
Anyways, I was wondering how much more I should lose or what I should do? I would like to have more toned legs and I feel like I've lost mostly my lean muscle mass rather than actual fat. Is exercise the solution to burning the fat? Thanks!
*I should probably mention that I'm 15 if that makes a difference :noway:

Your body weight is already very low, you don't need to loose more weight. If you want to get a tighter stomach and look more toned you have to eat more protein and start lifting and doing a lot of strength training. How many calories per day are you eating now?0

I'm not entirely sure how many calories I'm eating per day since I'm pretty bad at keeping track, my body has quite a lot of fat though so if anything I'd like to lose that.0
