Skinny Fat

Hi there,
I need some help as I don't know anymore how many calories I should intake to loose my skinny fat. I am 160cm high and my weight is 51kg. I lost 3 kilos with myfitnesspal but don't want to loose more weight although I still see fat on my body and the abs should also get more visible. I want to change my skinny fat body to a skinny fit body but want to maintain a feminine shape so don't mind a nice round butt. At the moment I eat a calculated amount of calories to 'maintain' my weight and extra calories when I workout.
I do mostly strength with Dumbbells at home and about 1-3 times a week HIIT or Tabata.
Any tips of people who have been in the same situation are very appreciated

Keep doing what you're doing, eating to fuel your strength-training and doing HIIT/Tabata to torch the fat. You will get there it just takes time! I'd maybe play around with dropping a couple of hundred calories to see if that helps drop some spare fat, but I definitely wouldn't go into an extreme calorie deficit.1
