    You simply cannot "spot reduce" your body does not burn fat like that.
    Have you tried switching up your cardio? You also may be using weights that are too heavy. You can use light weights and do more reps to help tone your legs but not "bulk up".

    Maybe a new exercise will help slim down your legs. I know for me running has been great for total body fat loss.
