Hi, Amberlina. I just noticed this post, and checked to see if you're still active on the forum. Yes!
So here's my take on your question.
No, there's really no way to "target" the location of fat loss, through diet or exercise. If there were, you can bet my thighs would be way thinner!! If you seem to be losing in a lopsided fashion, it may be an imbalance in the underlying muscles. Often fitness gurus refer to the fact that most people have a "weaker" side. I haven't noticed this in myself.
Just be sure you are doing your yoga and boxing in a way that makes equal demands on both sides of your body.
As a postscript, please be aware that exercise is the BEST health habit you can acquire. However, as a recent author says, "you can't outrun your fork." Which is to say, working out longer and harder to "burn more calories" doesn't help. Keep your diet under control, and enjoy whatever exercise you choose.
