There are alot of misconceptions and terms that are not used correctly in the world of exercise. "Toning" and "muscle building" are really the same thing. The amount of definition one has (how "toned" you look) is really more a function of body fat percentage than muscle mass. Nearly every man would have six pack abs if his body fat percentage was low enough - regardless of whether he ever did a sit up.
This sounds overly simplified, but the best thing to do is to eat healthy (as best you can) and exercise. If you want to lose weight, burn more calories than you take in. If you maintain this course, your body fat percentage will drop and you'll magically gain "tone".
