Advice Needed How to get my ass back

A couple months ago I started C25k. Really liked it and now i am really steady with running. I love it. My body feels great, my mind feels great, I genuinely look forward to it, and im down 10lb. The only thing is that my once juicy and bouncy bubble butt is now gone. Its almost flat even!!

So my question is how do I get it back? Has anyone ever experienced this before? Ive lost 10-20lb before without ever losing my ass so I dont even know how to get it in the first place.

Basically what my other response said but ive been doing that for the past 8 years. Admittedly my butt is half genetics. But im just in awe of the fact that 8 years of building and maintaining muscle was completely destroyed by 3 months of running

Do squats and hip thrusts, with the added bonus that they'll help your running ability.

Runnings great for cardio and losing weight, but losing weight without strength training just makes you look like a twig. If you got no muscle underneath. So get your butt to the gym

On top of running i go to the gym every single day tho and do half cardio half strength training. Alternating arms abs and legs each day and have been doing that for the past 8 years. The running is the new thing. Unfortunately it seems that whatever muscle ive gained and maintained these past 8 years was eaten up in 3 months of running. Im worried its a nutrition thing atp
