[quote=Anonymous]there is "skinny fat' which is not overweight but overfat (high body fat percentage). The best way to figure this out is to get your body fat percentage professionally tested.

There is also just "lacking muscle" which may be a decent body fat for your height but you dont have strength.

I just started a training/health program and this is what my trainer is suggesting. I am at a relatively healthy weight for my height and dont need to lose a lot of pounds (maybe 5-7), but I am at 30% body fat and at my age, ideal is somewhere around 25%. I am adding more protein, and doing more intense cardio and lifting while keeping calories the same, creating a caloric deficit via exercise and muscle building--over time, I should lose fat and put on muscle. It's not quick weight loss, but what I need (and what you are looking for?) is more of a body recomposition. A lot of my exercises, so far, are body weight or light weight (squats, lunges, overhead press, ab work, blanks, etc). I am guessing you can find good workouts online.
