I'm not fat .. But my love handles just aren't my thing . They stick out more than my butt .. Lol . I really need help . Any workout suggestions ? Motivation talks? Healthy meals ? I'm only 20 . Shouldn't be so insecure but I am

    Perhaps start toning exercising? Core work?

    Unfortunately you can't spot reduce. You'll have to lose fat slowly from all over your body to tone down the love handles. (I have crazy big love handles myself)

    Just stay active and eat whole food sources for your macros you will see them melt away...long as kcal in is less than your daily expenditure start about 250 kcal below maintenance is a healthy start point

    the main reason people get love handles at low weights is because they choose the wrong size trousers / skirts

    and progressive resistance

    lift heavy things up and put them down again

    to lose fat eat at a defecit

    I agree with Rabbit. If you're at a healthy weight and still have loose skin, body fat--I'd look into a recomp. There'a a great thread running on it. Do a search. It's by usmcrp-"Recomposition: maintaining weight while losing body fat". She's an expert, and will answer questions too. Best of luck.
