One of the common myths of exercise is that you can 'shape' a muscle. You cannot. You can specifically target different heads of the muscles to grow more, but that is as far as it goes. 'Toning' is a mere combination of size and lowering fat.
If you want your arms and abdominals to be more cut, you will have to lose fat.
You will want to keep exercising as normal, but add a jog before breakfast 3-4 times a week into your schedule. You will also want to cut down of sugary foods, and lower your food intake slightly. Once a week you can have a day in which you eat a lot more to bump your metabolism back into the fat-burning zone. Don't let yourself go hungry ever though.
Basically, bump up the training and lower the food intake. Be sure to drink plenty of water!

I feel the same way, my muscles are rather strong and flexible, but they are covered with some chubiness, not much, but i'm in the same hole inasmuch that my skeletal muscles dont really appear unless I flex them.
