Short torso

Petite girl problems

I’m 5ft, around 112-115 lb (my weight fluctuates a lot). I lift 4x a week, Pilates every Monday and try to get 8-10k steps a day. I also do some just dance like 2-3 days a week for some extra cardio. I eat very healthy (about 85% Whole Foods meals with a 15% gap for whatever I want) and pretty high protein.

Really trying to get down to about 105 because that’s always when I feel and look my best. It’s been really hard because I feel like I’m doing everything right and can definitely see my legs getting more defined but I have a short torso and longer legs and I feel like I’m never going to lose the fat around my hips and stomach. The only times in my life where i feel like my torso has been toned is when I was underweight (under 100 lbs) and i definitely don’t want to be at that point again.

I don’t feel like I’m ever going to have defined abs or not have fat around my hips no matter what I do. Just having a short torso makes me look bigger because it’s all compressed.

I’m just really frustrated because I have been working so hard and I don’t know how to come to terms with the fact that this might just be my body and there’s nothing I can do to change it.
