I want to tone my body but I don't want to lose any weight or much weight?

I have some flab, like double chin, stomach fat, arm flab haha ...but my bmi is at a healthy rate and my weight is low and could almost be underweight =/. I just want to tone my body but not lose much weight (if its possible)..what do you recommend for working out or dieting? Thanks in advance
Answer:
ok no offense to the other answerers here but it sounds to me like they have no clue. they all gave you advice for losing weight along with fat..Now listen up. if you want to tone up and NOT lose any weight avoid cardio for a while. get to the weights. Some people think they have a great idea when they say they are going to get skinny AND THEN build muscle.. they are wrong! skinny people are skinny.. NOT muscular. if you want to tone up just lift weights and make sure you work all over the body with different weights. if you have a little chub that is GREAT!! because u have the extra chub you will tone much much faster!! so lift weights for awhile and try to take in a LOT of protein.. it is recommended that you take in 1Gram of protein per pound of body weight... Ex. 140lbs = 140 grams of protein EVERY DAY! if u fall a little short thats fine. I would suggest lifting for about 3 weeks out of the month and then 1 week of cardio. The reason I suggest avoiding cardio is because you will lose weight really fast. If you follow my advice and take the protein and lift weights you should stay about your same weight but with a tighter more defined body! if you do this for even 2 months you will feel great and notice some amazing changes! good luck! feel free to e-mail me if u have any questions.
When we want to get rid of body fat, there is no way to specifically burn fat from one part of the body. Doing situps won't burn the fat that is covering your abs and doing tricep extensions won't get rid of the fat that is covering your triceps. The only thing you can do is lose weight all around and eventually the problem area will also improve. The way to burn fat is through a calorie restricted diet in conjunction with an exercise routine that will burn calories. Activities that burn calories include running, biking, swimming and other high intensity activities.Guide to Reducing Body Fat - http://www.straighthealth.com/pages/guid...

Try walking for at least 2 1/2 to 3 miles twice a day and have a low carb, high protein diet in accordance with the 2000 calorie a day prefered diet. So less bread more chicken and lots of water. And how are you underweight if you have a double chin, stomach flab, and arm flab. All that should put you at least at a normal weight.
In order to tone by not lose any weight, you must burn fat and build muscle :)
