But I hate how they look, it makes my legs seem very curvy and I know that a lot of men like curvy women but I just hate how my legs look so much. Is there any way which I can lose the muscle on my legs, but keep them slim at the same time? I hate how they look, I want slim legs, and not toned ones as the muscle is just far too obvious, is it possible?Thanks in advance for advice!

Anyway the only way would be to stop training your legs. The muscles will soften on their own and shrink a bit from idleness. But then you may just put on weight from stopping exercise so they may just turn into flabby legs instead.
Maverick is right though, you can't fight genetics OP, if you have curvy toned legs, then that's the shape they'll always be because that's your body type. If you are very active and healthy then it's the best they will look too. Plus we guys love nice toned healthy legs. Muscle definition of the type you describe is very sexy to us, especially when those legs are in heels, seeing nice sleek musculature on the calves and thighs in a pair of heels is very hot. Heels will give them that long thin look, that's why my girl wears them anyway, because they give the legs that long slender look but also having muscle definition is very nice to look at.
She has a short, round body type and well defined legs, heels makes them look long and slender so she wears them anytime she wants to show off her legs.

The only way you'll lose muscle is to stop training. Your body adapts to the demand, and cycling and trampoline jumping require strong leg muscles. Stopping that will make you lose muscle in the long haul.
That said, I don't get why you don't want to be toned. I know, you see stick figured models with stick legs everywhere, but those are not the type of girls men fall for. Everyone has a different body type. I do martial arts so I'm toned allover. I'm slim, but my shoulders are wider than most girls, my tummy is flatter and I have muscle definition in my legs. While I used to hate it when I was your age, I like it now because I know what clothes work for my body.
Try to dress to your advantage. Avoid low-rise skinny jeans/pants/skirts. Instead opt for pants that have a higher rise and a slight flare at the end. It makes your legs look longer. Wear heels (not extra high) for an even bigger effect.
Sometimes you need to learn that people are built differently. Girls with legs thin as toothpicks often aren't all that happy about that either and wish to be more toned.
