Thats called skinny fat. The cure is put on some lean muscle mass, therefore gym must take preference over cardio.

Become slighly more toned and less flabbly as a thin person. They will also strengthen back muscles, reducing chances of back injury.

Flex and stretch exercises are other exercises that are complementary to cycling.
None of that on it's own is a fix (feel free to ask me how I know that) and is almost an attempt at targetting fat loss which physiologically cannot work. Big compound lifts like the main 5 - Squat - Bench - OHP - Barbell row - Deadlift and calorie intake on point are key.

Skipping - hard core, not kiddie skipping.
Unfortunately not.
