Title is funny I know...

I want to lose mass in my arms. By no means am I fat. I'm about 5'8 195, built like an NFL running back.

What can I do to specifically lose weight/mass in my arms?

You can't just lose weight in a certain body part. Do you know how big your arms are? At 195 you may not be fat but you're definitely bulky. You'll have to lose all over to get smaller arms and even still, you may not lose much mass on them.

Shadow box. Go hit a punching bag. Throw your hands with light dumbbell weights above your head for long reps. Run. If you want to lose mass/weight on your arms your gonna need to cut down the food you eat.

I haven't measured...

There's no exercise I specifically do that targets the arms?

195 is too big at 5'8. You need to cut weight. The way you're describing your arms sounds like you have too much fat on em. You not gonna be able spot reduce. Just get in a caloric deficit.

I'm focusing more on cardio...but at this weight, it's hard to sprint like I used to, jump like I used to, or even run at a moderate pace. I think it's an unnatural size for me.

While I've always been stocky, I started bulking because I felt like I needed to be bigger at my height because I'm shirt.
