Fat Burning Questions - Losing Body Fat and Toning Up

Question:
I am a 22 year old girl that weighs a healthy 110 lbs. I do not want to lose any weight but want to lose fat and tone up in my lower body. I have fat around my hips and above my hips. When I bend sideways my skin buldges into rolls. I have also developed a pear shaped body and want to tone down this shape.

My problem is I am at a healthy weight and don't know how to go about losing the fat in certain areas and maintain my weight. I am not sure if I need to do toning or cardio. I know if I do cardio I'll lose weight but if I lift weights I will gain muscle weight. So, I am confused on how to go about toning my love handles, hips, and butt. If you could direct me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

Answer:
I recommend two things for you:

#1. Focus on your diet and make sure you're eating clean, nutritious foods. Eliminate all empty calories such as soft drinks, junk food, fast food, etc. Stick with lean proteins and fibrous carbs (vegetables) as your main source of nutrients. Diet is absolutely critical When wanting to shed excess body fat.

#2. Start jogging. Jogging will strip away body fat very quickly and is excellent for toning your legs, butt and thighs.
