Just a reminder that expertise should only be given to members that supply excellent fight advice. If they say something funny or nice, give them a positive rep.
Well you don't want to get rid of too much muscle. You should go to your local gym or fitness center, and get your BMI checked via the skin fold measurement. This will let you know how much fat you have on your body. If you are around 6%, then it might be hard to cut anymore fat.
Try a diet that stays away from fats and carbs.
Do a lot of cardio workouts, and long-slow-distance.
Lastly, stay away from heavy weights, and do low-weight, high reps instead.

WEight gain from lifting is normal. Some people gain faster than others. If you think your weight gain is bad, do cardio along with your weight training. I heard doing a minute on the bike/treadmill is good for making your workouts more efficient and it increases fitness.
It's called an active rest. The muscles you're lifting are getting rested, but your heart is still working.
Hey Brad,
After I started heavy lifting, I put on about 15 lbs. I walk around at 140 lbs now, but I'm till fighting at 125.
It depends, if you want to be bigger and stronger, do heavy lifting with lower reps and more resting time. If you want more muscle endurance and to be more defined, do lighter weight with higher reps and less resting time in between sets. You should be running either way.
