There is no way to target fat losses on specific parts of the body, we just don't get that choice.
Measuring success by inches lost rather than by pounds lost can be a very smart thing, especially if you are weight training, since muscle is more weight dense than fat. Therefore, when building muscle, the scale may not go down much, but you are thinner than before.
If you are losing weight, then you are most likely going to show smaller measurements. Have you had your measurements taken so you have a base to go by?
