Actually, unless you're using some sort of steroid, some weight lifting won't give you massive muscles. Weight training is one of the best ways to lose weight overall and to tone the muscles. More repetitions at a lower weight will help you get the desired look. It takes time and patience. Continue your cardio routine but maybe every other day do weights. Start out light and work your way up.
Squats or leg press for over all, but especially for the front of the thigh. Leg extensions for the back. If your gym has a hip ab/aductor machine, use it for the inner and outter thigh. Or, when you do squats stand with your feet in more of a V shape instead of straight ahead. Three sets of 8-10 with a minute or so between sets. Start the weight at 20 pounds and work your way up.
walking, swimming and cycling, dont go to too much weight, it is the constant excercise that is needed to do this or lose weight about 45-60 mins every or every other day is about right
