Can some exercise compromise other exercise

Hi, so I'm new here, and I'm trying to lose weight. I'm doing pilates concentrating on reducing the size of my things, nevertheless, I'm also doing 1 hour of elliptical exercise every day, I was wondering if doing this will help me decrease the size of my inner things or just build up muscle and increase the size of them? should I stop doing the elliptical workout, if I don't want more muscles?
Thank you!

Specific exercises do not create fat loss in those areas, fat is lost wherever it wants to come off.
You can maintain muscle while in a deficit, but building muscle requires a calorie surplus which is contradicting to losing weight.6 -

The only way to gain weight is to eat more calories then you burn.. working out on the elliptical just contributes to the burn part of that mathematical equation.7

A surplus is not a REQUIREMENT to build muscle, helpful yes, but not a requirement.

Yes, as long as you stay in a calorie deficit.3
