Not: Spot fat reduction is not possible. Procedures like liposuction /cryo can help remove fat from specific locations.

Spot removal of fat: Spot removal of fat is almost impossible with just diet and exercise. These will give an overall reduction in body fat; and there are certain areas which may be more or less prone to fat loss. However, at 17 and 110 lbs , it seems that increasing muscle tone via exercise may be the best. There are exercises that can tone specific areas. Liposuction is best way to remove localized fat deposits.
