Hip dip

Hey guys
I am no here, so bear with me!
I don't know if you ever discussed the subject in here before, but my question is regarding the so called "hip dip"
While I have spent a LOT of time reading about hip dips, and looking at others having it, I have not come across anyone who's dips are as server as mine.
I know that part of the problem is that I have extremely narrow hips, and therefore my thighs will almost always look wider no matter how skinny I become.
I am very sad about this, and losing weight only seem to make it worse. I have been exercising for about a year now - both cardio and building muscle.
I thought that they would smooth out when I started to do this, but they have not. I am fairly skinny - 165 cm tall (64 inches), and I weigh 51 kg (112,2 lbs)

I wanted to ask you guys if there is anything at all I can do to even this out a bit? Would it help to lose fat on my thighs? Is it even possible to build up muscle in that area where my dip is? I have tried different hip exercises so far, but nothing seems to work.
I will post some pictures so you can see what I am talking about. From the front I looks fairly normal, but from the back you can clearly see the problem. It makes my ass look really deform, and I can't wear skinny jeans. I can't wear anything tight at all, actually.

Please help!!! I am desperate.
 
Honestly, I think you are looking at the cost of being slim built and relatively lean. Others may disagree on this and be more help with case studies etc, but remove gender and your shape is similar to how I was after a few years of cycling.
The muscles at the side of the hips are small and I see no point stressing them in isolation, so would go for heavier squats and other compound movements to build glutes and legs evenly.
Frame size can be annoying but we work with it.
 
I had to look up what hip dip was, because I was looking at your photo and trying to figure out what was supposed to look wrong.

What exactly have you tried for hip exercises? To me, it looks like a lack of development in the smaller rotators (TFL, glute med, etc.) which makes sense for what COM just said, as cyclers essentially never use those muscles.

Exercises like squats can't hurt. Single-leg stuff is key, such as single-leg deadlifts. Glute bridges and hip thrusters will also hit the right muscles. In the end, though, you're looking in the mirror and seeing a much bigger problem than I do.

I go to a fitness center every week. There are different classes you can take, and I participate in things like dancing, muscle toning and step. When on my own, I have tried these exercises to fix my dips:





Squats and side planks.

I also run once in a while. I have never been much of a cycler.

I agree with this, especially the first and last sentence. Looks like you have a woman's body, to me. My last girlfriend was dreadfully insecure about the exact same issue, until she realised that she was judging herself against Disney cartoons, not real humans, and Disney animators take a bit of creative licence when it comes to anatomical accuracy.
 
Eat less, drink green tea more, walk as much as possible and all these things can be helpful for losing weight.
