not much
A small amount
Not much is a casual response meaning a small amount or nothing significant.
It commonly answers questions about what's happening or what someone has been doing: What's new? Not much.
The phrase can also indicate mild disagreement or qualify a statement: There's not much we can do about it.
As a response to thanks, not much would be unusual—that's not at all.
