Deadlifts, Long Lunges and a Powerlifter Style Squat.
Reason on the Powerlifter Style Squat is because it hit focus more so on your Butt and Hamstrings.

Some of us are predisposed to have cellulite no matter how thin we are, but exercises that target your butt and hamstrings can make some difference. Stiff-legged deadlifts especially really target that area and may help diminish the appearance of your cellulite. I know I was hit with cellulite pretty much at puberty and have suffered with it ever since. I do think that in your case it is probably much more noticeable to you than to anyone else. You might just want to focus on working out to keep/develop lean muscle to keep the lovely shape you were born with and not fret too much over a little cellulite. It is not as unsightly as you imagine--but, yeah, I know we all like to focus on our flaws.

MVP, what are powerlifter style squats??
The reason I ask is that I have had issues with my hammys. On my sprint days they tend to want to tighten up no matter how much I stretch or warm-up. I was thinking I might want to try and strengthen them to eliminate that issue.

I agree with the DL's lunges and squats. The more muscle you build, the more likely your cellulite will dissapear. It's a matter of putting some nice solid muscle where the soft squishy fat lies. It works!!

Wide Stance and seated back far so your knees are behind your toes.
When you see a guy doing them with a close stance and knees past the toes this is more quad dominant.
