I need serious help - Bikini Body in 3 months

You built muscle then burned the fat to reveal the muscle. That's how it should be done. She doesn't have that base to reveal.

OP, do the cardio and just get skinny. After that come back with a real program because you probably won't be happy just being skinny.

thanks so much!! I do have some muscle def from dancing so I def think dropping fat will help with my bikini body goal... it's just a matter of what is more effective to drop that fat without burning any muscle that I do have.

Up your cals to say 200 below your maint. minimum. Then just lift heavy. Keep cardio to a minimum. You can get some good results in 3 months if you are good with your diet (logging everything, weighing it meeting you daily calorie goal) and by lifting hard 3-4 times per week with a little cardio if you must.

Upping your cals - you may experience bloating for a week or 2 while your body adjusts, don't be put off by this and start eating low and hammering the cardio again! It takes time, like everything. Just stick with it and don't worry. You're lucky you don't carry weight in your legs.

Make sure you got a good program. I'm not a fan of Jamie Easons but I think it will do for now to get you on track for your 3 month goal then you should look to find a better program, although this does depend on your goals.
