The best results will be overall diet and exercise. Some people get confused as they may gain in the rear, or the belly, or the thighs, etc. and think that due to the gain being more predominate in those certain areas while others seem to be much less effected by weight gain, that they can spot train to get rid of the added padding --unfortunately it is due to your genetic makeup "where" you seem to be gaining most, and in actuality, you need to tweak the diet and exercise for the TOTAL body to see results where you want them. You can certainly work certain muscles more by spot training (i.e.; you do 200 situps a day, you build your ab muscles but it doesn't do anything for your biceps), but specifically building muscle in one certain area isn't going to allow you to lose weight in that certain area alone --you may only add muscle under the fat if you don't look for a total fitness plan. Best exercise is weight training, it is great for weight loss, by increasing the muscle mass you are allowing the body to actually burn more calories, which is an added bonus to the sculpted look you can get. Cardio is helpful and diet is extremely important. Good luck to you with your goals!
