One of the best tips for losing weight, but especially for losing fat from specific areas such as the thighs, is a balanced diet full of nutrients where ultra-processed foods are sporadic. Consume steamed vegetables and lots of fruit to balance water levels in the body, avoid salt and refined flours (because they increase fluid retention). Drinking a lot of water is essential. A trick to avoid fluid retention? Drink artichoke water. How is it done? Boiling artichokes and saving the water that you must later drink to purify the body and go to the bathroom. You can do this once a week.
