    What feline said. To add though, I just started doing kettle bell work outs and it's supposed to be great for your core and it could easily be done at home if you can purchase a few different sizes. (there are plenty of other at home work out options that just use your body weight though if you don't want to buy anything)

    Generally speaking, there are no "home" exercises. Core work is supportive rather than an means to an end. Best bets are any of: running, swimming, cycling.

    I workout at home, adjustable dumbbells and Fitness Blender primarily. But my stomach is reduced by losing body fat overall. And asdly, as much as I'd like to choose that fat to come off my thighs a wee bit faster, it's just not possible!

    But, building muscle (if that's even likely to happen) without losing the fat over the top will only make you look thicker...

    fork put downs and table push a ways..

    seriously, you can't spot reduce and you need a calorie deficit to lose fat...

    You can't spot reduce fat with specific exercise...you just have to continue to lose fat. If the belly area is primary fat stores for you, as it is for most men and many women, it's a first on, last off proposition.

    Unfortunately, this was one of the caution areas I tried to warn you about when very fast weight gain. Cut down on calories (about 15-20% below maintenance), follow a progressive overload lifting program, and give it a lot of time. You might have to cut down to about where you started and then restart with a controlled weight gain.

    If I could target a specific area in a world where this was possible than it would be my quads. (Sigh)

    Do yourself a favor, set a moderate deficit (where you are losing between 1/2-1lb per week) and follow a 3day full body resistance program. You will probably have to cut for a good period of time because you were overly aggressive with your weight gain, but you could potentially see some benefits. And once you get towards a more lean body, then you can slowly add more weight.

    If you want a booty focused program, look at StrongCurves. There is a body weight and barbell program.
