Remind me how you tone, please

Is it more reps with less weight that tones, and fewer reps with more weight that builds bulk? Or the other way around? I never can remember. Specifically, what I'd like to do is reduce the softball-sized spheres of fat that hang down and *completely cover* my elbow joints. (I try to avoid self-loathing, as nothing good comes of it, but I have to say "YUCK!!! These balls of fat make me sick!!!") I still have over 100 pounds to lose (have lost 80) so it's not just skin. So maybe there's still some hope for toning. Thanks.
