    Bad news for you. Your genetics are going to determine how fast and where you lose the wait and the fat. Yes you can do exercises to tone it up but it will only help so much.

    Oh, and I forgot to mention, I have no access to a gym, so no weight bench, any way to do hip thrusts without?

    I like the cable lunges and the forward push ups. Inventive.

    Sure. Look at the YouTube videos. Stable couch or chair - heavy, or backed up to a wall, is a fine bench substitute, for hip thrusts. Start with bodyweight for form, and add almost any manageable heavy household thing when you're ready to add weight. Eventually, you'll probably need real weights, but you can start without them.

    Deadlifts for life!

    *Squats are so overexposed these days but yeah they're great too.

    Hip thrusts are supposed to be amazing but I honestly just can't be bothered.

    The hip thrust has changed my life... and my booty. Try it !! :)

    Me too, I had a flat but even before I lost a lot of weight. Hip thrusts helped me more than squats.

    Your butt is prolly hanging out with my boobs on the beach somewhere. They ditched me last year when I lost a mere 15 lbs. Didn't take much for them to pack up and leave. *kitten*.

    Heavy hip thrusts helped my deads out too.

    OP, I got back into lifting after hiking a lot and seeing some nice changes in my butt. Yay!

    I had a similar problem, but I started having pain in my left hip due to a torn labrum from running. I did 4 weeks of PT because I was diagnosed with the injury right before my vacation to Machu Picchu (last week). Then I spent 8 days climbing around 7 different Incan archeological sights and walking around in cities where all the streets are steep hills (like in the photos below). My butt isn't so flat anymore. Climb stairs, walk up hills, do one leg deadlifts, one leg hip bridges, and one leg squats and you should start to see some flute definition.
