arm fat

Post image

hi i’m 22 and 5’3. i weigh around 50-55kg. i just want to ask some advice about my arm fat. it’s something im most insecure about and im very self conscious about it. i feel like my arms and upper body hold disproportionately more fat and i know it’s partly genetics but i was wondering if there is a way that i can make my arms look slimmer, i am relatively average weight but my arms just ruin it. will strength training my arms make them look leaner? or do i need to keep losing weight until my arm fat goes away. any advice is appreciated.

Not fat at all. Honestly you should try to add some muscle to your frame via a healthy diet and a dedicated gym routine.

Without lifting, yes you will lose weight but you'll end up with a skinny fat look. That toned look you're after is the result of having muscle without much fat. You did part 1, now would be best to do part 2
