    Your diary is closed so it's tough to give more info, but I will say butt and breasts are likely fat.......You can't control where you lose fat you can just lose it.....Genetics will determine where it comes from first/last.

    Too much running/cardio will only make you skinny fat. You can lose weight but it won't make you firm. You should start lifting. You'll burn more calories and can build up your butt and other muscles so that you won't loo flabby.

    You'll also plateau with only cardio. With weights, you can keep increasing the lbs to make it always challenging.

    the issue with lifting for me is i have one hand so i can only lift with one arm so the other one doesn't get worked to much. So i can't really do bench presses or things like that. any suggestions?

    Maybe Squats, Deadlift? Thats tough. If it was me I would do dumbells with the one arm that you do have a hand.

    You can use the leg press machine to work on your butt. You just need to push with your legs! :)
