You could buy some resistance bands and a kettle ball. Between those are using your own body weight you can make some gains.0

With your stats if you still don't have the look you are after, the issue is most likely lack of muscle base. You can keep losing weight but you will end up looking like a smaller version of your current self. I would look into recomposition.

Eating healthy is great, but I would start tracking your calories on here to make sure you are hitting your goals.
Why aren't you allowed to get a gym membership?

I used to have one and didn’t go enough so my parents stopped paying for it. I have money but not enough to keep it1

I have a treadmill at home but that’s pretty much it0

I think I want to get back to 122-5ish bc at that weight I didn’t have a muffin top and you could see my waist more. I didn’t look perfect though I was still unhappy with my belly fat.... it’s never gonna go away0

You can see this thread with bodyweight routines.. just make sure you are progressing over time.

Yea that is exactly what I was talking about in my post above.. you keep losing weight, both fat and muscle. Then without muscle under your body may not look how you want it to. It can take quite some time to get to your goal, so patience will be key.1 -
I came across a bunch of callisthenics journey videos where people were working out just using body weight and simple playground equipment and they seemed to be getting amazing results.
Can't say I've done it myself but it might be something you can look into in lieu of a gym membership1 -
Why do I have no muscle in the first place? Like some people naturally have it1

Genetics, dieting in the past and losing it, lack of resistance training, lack of protein. I had a decent muscle base in the past before I got pregnant. I used to be on the track & field team when I was a kid. Then in my teens/20s while I wasn't into lifting, I did some bodyweight and interval training stuff, kept pretty active. Then I lost most of my muscle by dieting way down without exercise or adequate protein, and I had to build it up again.2 -
Stand up straight and suck it in, then compare yourself to the model, assuming she isn't photoshopped.5

Yes, you need to recomp by eating at maintenance calories and doing heavy lifting (which does not require a gym membership). Here's a picture I post all the time of a woman who did a recomp. On the left, at her goal weight. You can see that she still looks sort of soft and squishy. On the right, after a recomp. She's 14 pounds heavier on the right (by adding muscle) but her body looks leaner. I'm assuming this is the sort of look you're going for.
But it will take time--like a year or so. I know it seems like forever, but it's the only way to reach your goal.
