What’s A Good Workout For Toning And Curves? (no Weight Loss)?

Here’s the thing: I’m 22, 5’1 and about 115-120 lbs (somewhere there, i don’t keep track haha if i’m in the healthy BMI, i’m good). I’m slim but not stick skinny and somewhat curvy. I was never really “fat” but had some chubby areas – ESPECIALLY my stomach. I started “working out” about a yr ago in the summer and now i’m currently getting back to my swimming aerobics routine. I’ve noticed that my thighs and butt are BIG – which I’m definitely excited about it but am kinda weirded out b/c it’s different. They’re not “huge” but it’s a big diference than what they usually are and pretty “curvy” for an asian girl. A yr ago, my thighs looked a little bigger than my legs and NOW you can definitely distinguish thighs vs legs. My size was about a 24-25 and NOW it’s a 27. I know, right? I was also wondering, if i can keep my new found “thickness” – i don’t intend to lose any weight but would rather just tone up w. my swimming. OH! and I eat about 6 small meals a day.
So i was wondering if there was a certain routine i should do? I discovered swimming aerobics last year and i LOVE it. I don’t get bored w it and it works well w. my body and results are successful – i feel the soreness the next day. Also wondering if there were small diets i could do – I LOVE food and I still wanna eat. LIke I said, I don’t wanna lose weight at all but tone.
WHAT’S A GOOD STEADY WORKOUT PLAN/ROUTINE?
Swimming everyday? or 3x a week w. weight lifting in between?

12 reps, a min break, repeat up to 3 times, low weights. Start with machines that assist with lower and upper legs/thighs, and those that work arms. Then move on to the bar (no weights), this works on your stabilizers. The trick to staying curvy is really about genetics,…
Eating good will increase your potential to look sexy. Do 10 min of cardio and push it up an extra 5 min. each week until you feel like 30-40min each time is do able. Of course, you don’t have to, just an option.
Don’t jump into this type of diet because it’s hardcore. Maybe think about breaking up your meals into 6 small portions to keep the metabolism running. Then substitute your favorite snack (like chips- and try a protein shake, or bake chicken breast.) I use Franks red hot sauce on my chicken all the time. Cheat every other day with your usually habits, until you are comfortable eating clean 5-6 days a week. Workout a 3 days a week to ensure curvy and healthy figure.
Stick to a diet of with protein (fist or two of chicken, or EAS low carb protein shakes)
Certain types of Carbs prior to cardio (3/4 cup potatoes, Vegs (1-2 cups)
Take a multivitamin (Cheapest and best price Super Crusade/Trader Joes)
