I dont know if this is relevant but I'm speaking from personal experience,

I was a reaaaallly skinny guy (still skinny actually), did a strength training programme and noticed some gains. However, did NOT see much gains in size especially in my arms, they were lagging, and so were other smaller muscles e.g. calf, shoulders. Point is, my strength training involving lifting heavy weights for lower reps with a lot of emphasis on squats got me growth but not much increase in size.. as compared to when I switched over to lifting for hypertrophy (regular 8-12 reps 3-4 sets) which got my arms a bit bigger so I didn't look like popeye with forearms bigger than arms..

Maybe you can try doing my compound lifts - squats, deadlifts, pullups, bench press, bent over rows.. the compound lifts build more overall muscle, which is what you need, more muscle, which will indirectly burn fat at a higher rate. The theory is more muscle, more fat burnt, over time. Clearly that your worry is that you'll have those biceps huge.. but mebe thats just during ur workout but I'm sure normal days it isnt like that... either way when your bodyfat% drops u sud look smaller overall

good luck!

ps: is that a cookie monsterz (as in cookie monsterz the dance group) T?
