Make sure you're consistent with building muscle, if you're already curvy now when you lose weight you'll stay curvy because of bone structure and fat distribution

It's all about SUBSTITUTION/SWAPS in diet rather than restricting (or you will crash out and binge or give up, or it'll at the very least be an extremely unpleasant experience) like you'd be SHOCKED by how much you can eat within a small window w food swaps Also cardio. I'd recommend stairmaster for you (at the end of every lift). Destroy your entire lower body (quads, glutes, hammies, and calves, gotta hit em all plus adductors and abductors), core, and delts for emphasized curves

In order to emphasize curves and maintain (potentially even buff) muscle while losing weight, you need to be lifting heavy, hella stairmaster cardio, and eat a LOT OF HIGH QUALITY PROTEIN in your calorie deficit window. At least 1g/lb

Food swaps: Nick's Ice Cream, for instance, has 0 refined sugar and is only 200-370cals/PINT. And it actually tastes good. There are hella sauces that taste GREAT with 0 added sugars, suuuuuper low cal (most normal sauces are insanely calorie dense)

I'm personally fueled by this specific yogurt bowl (tastes like a scrumptious dessert): 0% Plain Fage Greek Yogurt, Farm Fed Marshmallow Milk Protein Powder (mix these), blueberries, chia seeds, magic spoon cereal (sometimes a different protein cereal or a mix)

A lot of popcorns are also shockingly optimal. Like an entire family sized bag of Wegmans butter popcorn is 550 cals, 75g carbs, 25g fiber
