No, that would make you more BUFF! like a mannish butchy type feature..
Crunches and push-ups will help lose fat, and GAIN muscle.
Cardio is very important dealing with you have to lift weights, it gets you psyched up... Some people refer it as to getting "swole".
also stretches are important, to get better results

Lifting weights will only make you look bigger, but it'd be better to warm up your muscles with a little bit of cardio,, even though you may not like it. Also, stretch! You don't want to strain your muscles.. I don't think it's possible to convert fat to muscle, since fat is just flabby, whereas muscle is firm. I think your parents are right about cardio. A little cardio won't hurt, plus it's good for your heart.

I get approximately 1hour and half-hour of coaching. and anhour of train. then on days i dont have gymnastics. i atleats run or excersises at residence. Im very athletic. SO atleast check out what I mentioned do on days wiuthout swimming.
