I have this weird problem.... legs are really very well developed as i play football(?) and i do good amount of weights...so hips and calf muscles look much broader but upperbody is really under-developed.
It really looks awkard hips are much larger than upperbody.
I have started picking more wieghts for upperbody and less for lowerbody.
what should I do?
Over-developed lower-body & underdeveloped upper-body

Keep the lower body weights, don't cut back, as you might sacrifice muscle.
Try training more heavily on the upper body and see where that gets you. You might have just been going a bit lower than was desirable, so going close to failure for 8-10 reps on upper body sets, might improve things for you.

Pull ups made a huge difference to upper body by puffing up shoulders and lats and making everything look more broad. Press, Push Press, Pull up, Push up, and swing a kettle bell if you have access to one.
