Dear Eb1980,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from liposuction. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

First, you look great now. 
Liposuction would change your thigh curves dramatically, but I need to see posterior back photos before I say liposuction would improve your back.  The anterior abdomen would be more defined but not necessarily thinner

If you are interested in a fit, athletic look then high definition vaser liposuction can help you lose that last bit of stubborn fat in your abdomen, back and flanks. The Gold Standard for superior liposuction results requires use of the advanced technology of ultrasound-assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I perform full body liposuction cases every week. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently resulted in outstanding liposuction outcomes. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of degree of excess fat by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. If skin redundancy is observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

Secondary liposuction typically delivers far less of a result than the primary procedure. If the primary procedure also left areas that are uneven the chance of having a contour irregularities increases with a secondary procedure.

It seems like the problem is weight gain and the solution should be losing the excess weight you’ve gained.

Obesity is generally more related to eating habits rather than exercise but both exercise and proper eating habits are important for being healthy and maintaining a healthy weight.

Get on the scale every day and start taking control of what you eat, when you eat and how much you eat.

Lower extremity and Liposuction is technically more difficult especially of the inner thighs. Our thigh Liposuction does not seem appropriate for you because it would reduce feminine curves.

Best,
