Effective Strategies for Lean Muscle & Body Fat Reduction

Question
Hey Bonnie,

I am 5'3 and weigh about 143 pounds. I am very athletic and have been very active my entire life.I would describe my body type as "Muscular". I would say I'm very fit and workout about 3-6 days a week. I like to switch up my workouts and try to confuse my muscles. For example I will do zumba one night, than weight traning the next day. I try my hardest to eat healthy and I don't eat fast food ever. I am guilty of a sweet tooth and I feel like it is my downfall at times. I love my body and I have curves in all the right places, I am by no means "fat" or "overweight" looking. I love my stomach but I feel like I need to lean out my body, and im having a hard time figuring out how. I want my body to lean out and loose about 6 pounds. My question to you is, what workouts should I be doing to LEAN my body out? and What should I be eating or NOT be eating to get to my goal. I'm allergic to gluten so I never eat bread or much carbs. I need your help! I want my perfect rockin body :)

Thank you!
