You can't play that game.

Fat didn't magically appear on certain parts of your body b/c you were exercising and it isn't going to come off other parts b/c of anything else you're doing.

Fat distribution patterns are based on genetics. If you're in a caloric surplus overtime, you're body is going to store said surplus in the form of fat.

Vice versa, if you're in a deficit, it's going to pull from where existing fat stores to meet the bodies needs. This will also be in a predetermined, genetic pattern, which you have very little control over. (lyle mcdonald is coming out with some interesting stuff on stubborn body fat soon which will shed some light on this related topic).

Sure, it might look like you gained fat in one area, but don't let your body image fool you. You could have lost fat around the spot you think gained fat giving it the visual you did actually gain it. But if you're sure you're in a deficit, you're not gaining fat.

And don't be afraid to weight train for fear of building lot's of muscle. Isn't going to happen.

And what made you pick that caloric intake?
