Lift weights.

Eat healthy. You might not be eating enough food.[/quote]

I eat very healthy, I am not skin and bones at all. I just have a very narrow frame. I also lift weights but as I said I don't build up easily. At one point I had very well defined arms (but they get toned not bulky), I stopped for 2 weeks as I was traveling, my muscles melted so fast it was scary...

I also have pretty strong abs considering how super soft my stomach looks. I always focused on abs, I can easily do a 3 min plank for example. But I have never had the slightest hint of muscle definition on my belly...

A 3 minute plank isn't impressive.  Over 5 minutes is respectable.  10 minutes is impressive.

If you start lifting heavy and you train to the point where you can deadlift over 2x your body weight, the skinny fatness will go away.   You will have muscle definition everywhere and a flat belly.  Assuming you eat healthy.

OP here: was your goal to reach a particularly low body fat overall? I realize with my questions and everybody's reply that I am probably looking for something impossible.[b] I like to be a bit more toned but I am not looking to get rid of the level of softeness I have on the other parts of my body[/b], it works for me. I can see that it is not possible [/quote]

My goal with lifting wasn't losing weight. I wanted to be healthy. But I was similar to you, I had a pooch at weights over 125 lbs, and I was 5'5".  I started lifting heavy, and I stayed the same weight.  My friends swore I lost 20 lbs though.  (I was keeping track of body fat, and it definitely decreased over time; I looked awesome at around 21-22% body fat).

As I said, eat healthy.  Eat enough to nourish your body and grow muscles.

Lift heavy at least 2x a week, maybe even 3.  Hike some. Yoga. Metcons.   You will end up with the look you're looking for.[/quote]

ps I have no clue what you're saying.  You want to be "toned" but not soft.    that makes zero sense.  If you're toned, you're well muscled.  And muscles are hard.  Fat is soft.

If you want to be soft but have a flat belly, then what you're asking for is to be skin and bones.  That's not healthy and can only be achieved by anorexia/lipo/surgery.  If that's really your goal, you need to see a therapist.[/quote]

Many of us have tried to give OP advice, but I think it's pointless and a waste of our time.  The only advice she seemed interested in was lipo, everything else had a con attached to it.[/quote]

OP here: I find you seriously annoying and aggressive. The other PP who is explaining about weight lifting is giving me sound advice, even as she explains that she doesn't understand what I want at least she stays polite.

And I find you delusional.  Get help for your issues. [/quote]

I don't have issues, I asked a simple question : did someone manage to get a smaller waist. Now go lift weights it may calm you down[/quote]
