Wanting my cake and eating it (not about cake)

Hello - So, I'd appreciate some advice. May of last year, I was 135 KG (c300lb). Now I'm 93(205lb). I've done this by improving my diet and daily gym - typically burning 500-1000 cals per day running etc. For the last couple of months I've also started doing weights. I'm about 6ft1.
I'm now happy with my weight. However, the distribution.... I have the arms and legs of a long distance runner who has been stuck on an island with no food for a fortnight, while I have a lot of fat around my core still. I've reached the conclusion that my skinny limbs are more annoying than the remaining belly, hence the weights.
However, my muscle isn't growing because of the calorie deficit. I'm happy to eat more and keep the belly, but really don't want to see it grow any more. Is there anything I can do that will minimise fat growth in the belly area while adding (muscle ideally, muscle and fat would be ok) to arms and legs. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

You need to switch to a overage to gain and make sure that those additional cals are going to building muscle mass. There is a forum especially for people looking to do this where you could probably find better help.0
