Big butt :(

Hi all, I'm a 16 year old male who is fairly average in weight and body size but my butt is very huge and it sticks out a lot making my body look unproportional. It's very embarassing and I've searched all over the net to find answers but nothing was of good help. I've tried doing lunges and squats but I feel that they only make your butt more firm and stick up more making it stand out even more. The part of my butt that sticks out is mainly squishy fat :( and it doesn't seem to go away. It sticks out a lot when I am standing and it is very embarassing. Is there a quick way to lose all that fat and make my butt smaller so it doesn't stick out??
Thanks for all your help.
 
i think dieting to lose weight would be your best bet. dieting = eating healthy & natrual 6-7 meals a day (same size)
 
they would probably end up replacing the fat with muscle, and therefore retaining the size..
 
if i was to run about 20 mins every other day doing interval running, wouldn't that help me burn the fat on my butt that sticks out?

Fat is fat, and cannot be "replaced" by anything. What happens is if there is a layer of fat, and you do lunges and squats to build the muscle, the muscle pushes the fat out more - therefore increasing the size.
You want to get rid of the fat - that will only be accomplished by a proper nutrition plan and some cardio. Do a search on the forums for clean diets, read some recent posts, and you'll probably find all the info you need.
That being said, muscle takes up less space than fat, so once you lose some fat, your bum will actually be smaller if you continue with squats and other exercises.
 
thanks for all your help, and I also have 1 more question.. will HIIT help me lose that unwanted fat on my butt and how many times a week should it be done?
 
yes HIIT will help, it should be done around 4 times a week. maby you should look at spock's post a little closer. proper nutrition and cardio, also and lowering your calorie intake. here is some good info on cardio
-----------
CARDIO: there are two main types of cardio you should use, first is called slow cardio and the second is called HIIT (high intensity interval training). you should use them in a ratio of 3-1 (IE 3 days of slow and 1 day of HIIT). For best results do cardio 4 times a week for an houre, too much is somtimes counterproductive and too little is well too little. "what is slow cardio?" slow cardio is doing any activity (running, biking, swimming, boxing, etc) with about 75-85% of your max heart rate for an houre. "how do I know what my max heart rate is?" well when you do an activity where you are still able to talk without being extremely out of breath, or another easy way is take 220 and minus your age then take that number and multiply it by .75-.85 which will give you rough percentages of 75-85% of your max heart rate or (HR), of course this is not entirly accurate, cause everyone is different. "ok what is HIIT then?" HIIT works like this first you warm up doing whatever for 5 min then take some time and stretch. after your all ready, start a moderate pace for 1 minute then you move your pace up to 90-95% of you max HR for the next 15-30 seconds, then go back down to your moderate pace for 1 min, then back up to 90-95% and back down agen. you get the idea (moderate for 1 min, then 90-95% for 15-30 sec) do this around 15-20 times and your done.
