Can't lose weight from arms & legs

I'm losing weight, so far almost 60lbs. I have dropped several dress sizes which is great but I seem to have lost my weight from my body and nothing from arms and legs it means I can only wear sleeveless tops and either dresses or legging.
Jeans/trousers would come up my legs until it's my original size but then falls down at the waist.

I don't have much more to loose, went from size 16/18 to current 10/12. My hips & ribs are becoming noticeable.

How can I get rid of the extra weight in arms & legs without my body being too thin/boney looking.

Do you have lipoedem? Cosmetic surgery.

@2020canfuckoff no in haven't had any surgery. I've lost weight through diet and increase in exercise mainly walking or jogging.

I have the same issue with my arms. Have lost around 8 stone but see very little difference in my arms 😡

@2020canfuckoff sorry I thought you where asking if I had cosmetic surgery. I've never heads of lipedema before. Just done quick Google. Going to read up more. Although fat isn't painful. Sometimes I get achey legs for no apparent reason.
