SKINNY FAT SOLUTION ANYONE?

Don't choose a huge deficit, with tons of cardio, no weight training, and minimal amounts of protein while you're losing weight.

ETA: If you've already done that and hit goal weight, add a structured lifting or body weight program with progressive overload and eat around maintenance. If you still have fat to lose...start lifting.

I've been having success with strength training and eating at maintainance/slight surplus. I eat as much protein as I can and keep cardio at a minimum (I still run). In the last few months I've noticed a big decrease in cellulite, jiggly-ness and that general skinny-fat flab I used to have.

It can be really frustrating - but I'm cautiously starting to feel I'm on track. After 3 years of Weight Watchers (miserable caloric deficit) I had reached and dove under my goal weight (160 to 155lbs at 5-9) - yet was still skinny fat (no definition, plus love handles). I ran 5k's 4 days a week and did Insanity while at the deficit. Frustrated I kicked the diet and bounced back up to 190 then starting to lift 9 months ago. Now, while being much stronger I was 185 and my definition was just about the same again as with WW at 160. This month I started intermittent fasting (skip breakfast, each day no calories from 8pm through lunchtime) plus end each fast with either 60' lifting (3x week) or 30-45' low impact cardio (walking, elliptical, golf). My caloric goal is close to BMR but I struggle to hit it while eating 2 major meals and plenty snacks until I'm really satisfied (let alone eat the exercise cals). I felt great after 2 days and hardly notice hunger before lunchtime. My weight still stays in the 180s but I dropped 2 pant sizes in those 2 weeks. Adding Skulpt measurements (body fat %) next week.
If nothing else really makes a difference and you're frustrated about missing results there is plenty of research about life style changes like this having an impact.
