If you want tone up and lose calories at the same time you should use weights which are twice lighter than the ones you were used to lift. If you were doing 15kg bicep curls, now you should use ~8kg dumb bells, but if you were doing only 8 repetitions on one hand, now you should do at least 16. 25 would be perfect.
Now once you know how to do it, you should try to do it. Bellow you will find a fitness program, the aim of that program is to tone up and lose weight at the same time:
Monday: you start in a gym with using the same program you were working with before, but use lighter weights and do more repetitions. Before your training session warm up by doing 10 minute run on a treadmill. After the training session do a 15 minute run on a treadmill or any other aerobic machine.
Tuesday: Aerobic training for 30~35 minutes. Cycling, Running, Stepping
Wednesday: Gym with your old training program, but lifting lighter weights and doing more repetitions. Before your training session warm up by doing 10 minute run on a treadmill. After the training session do a 15 minute run on a treadmill or any other aerobic machine.
Thursday: Aerobic training for 30~35 minutes. Cycling, Running, Stepping
Friday: Gym with your old training program, but lifting lighter weights and doing more repetitions. Before your training session warm up by doing 10 minute run on a treadmill. After the training session do a 15 minute run on a treadmill or any other aerobic machine.

That's bogus. Explain in physiological terms how this helps tone, please?

From the sounds of it, you don't realize that toning up is a function of losing weight (fat).

I was under the impression that toning is increasing the muscle to fat ratio. So if you gain 5 pounds of muscle and no fat, or if you lose 5 pounds of fat without gaining (or losing) muscle, you'd be toning. Or is it just reducing the fat percentage?

Toning in the traditional sense means to expose your muscle mass. This can come by way of maintaining muscle while losing fat or even adding muscle while losing fat. It all leads to the same end-product.... that being a leaner looking physique.
