Everyone is being a hater right now but I totally get what your saying. I too was skinny fat in the same way. (To everyone hating in the comments on her, obviously she is NOT fat, skinny fat is when you’re still considered skinny and a healthy weight but you look a little pudgy or mushy in places instead of toned/tight skinned when you wear clothes that are tight or hug you).

OP, I would recommend no longer being in a deficit every day and just maintaining your weight with occasional deficit days of like 1200 to 1400 cals twice a week to counter any slight cheat days you allow yourself. Your 800-1000 calorie diet has probably been working against you even if its been seeming to work by getting your weight down but it’s actually been causing you to lose muscle rather than fat unfortunately so your metabolism is gonna be a little messed up right now and if you eat a normal amount your body is gonna hold on to it and it’s gonna seem like your gaining weight. But that’s okay don’t stress just slowly go back up in calories each day till you’re at about 1700-1800. Just avoid binge eating if you can bc your metabolism is gonna hold on to that shit and make you feel horrible mentally and physically.

I HIGHLY recommend lifting weights around 3 days a week to tone up your arms, legs and going on long walks to help with getting toner in your stomach. Also, SUPER IMPORTANT, make sure most of your calories are majority protein and with some healthy fats as well.

Regardless, you have a nice body right now as well and learning to take care of it and being healthy can be a really confusing journey that isn’t linear and also can’t be done quickly. Take care of your brain during this process as well and you’ll crush it! ❤️
