    Eliminate sugar from your diet and count calories. You may need to reduce calorie intake to lose more fat. High Intensity Interval Training once or twice a week will help blast some fat calories quickly, and long slow distance exercise also burns fat. Look at your diet first though.

    To develop your butt, you need to do 3 sets of squats,10 squats per set. For boobs do chest expanding exercises, little stretching exercises, and basic pushups. The most important think is your diet, try to get a diet chart that contains well-balanced protein and carbs, and little fat. If you follow this easy method you will see improvement within a couple of weeks. Also stop or do less cardio until you've seen development.
