will working on my obliques make me have a bigger waist, i'm just asking because now that i have started to workon them a little more i seem to have a wider waist and since my goal is the "v" shape i'm not sure that's the best thing to do....

so should i stop working on the obliques or will it be better if i keep on training them?

You could do something like Side bends, but just don't use any weight, as it might thicken them up when you use weight.

i ahven't done obs for years and hardly ever really...do unweighted versions if you have to do them but hold the top of each rep x 2secs

No, because you'd more than likely stimulate some growth.

Even people who have a little high bodyfat, but look slim, will look about the same if they don't go for size gains, as they will replace lost Fat with muscle, and look a bit tighter.

If you did them without weight you "might" get the disired result, but adding unnatural resistance from Weights will aslmost definitely bulk the muscles up.
