No such thing as: Spot reduction( of fat/flab).As you diet and exercise to lose weight and maintain muscle mass,your arms will take care of themselves.You can spot increase ( build up muscle)any muscle group .The most efficient way is resistance training( lifting weights).Proper technique is essential.Find an experienced trainer to get started right.Good luck
