What you are shooting for is dropping body fat while putting on some lean mass. There are chemical ways you can do this much faster and do both at the same time.
Otherwise get your diet in check, lift hard and heavy every time, do 30-45 min of cardio after every workout. Keep your heart rate around 125 the whole time. You'll start to burn pure fat at that point. It wont be as fast as people who just set out to lose weight, meaning they lose lean mass like muscle along with a little bit of fat. Don't pay so much attention to the scale, judge by pictures every 2 weeks or every month.
Do you log your food intake? If not you can't possibly say your diet is good and clean because you dont know what you are taking in.

OK... why "hard and heavy"? As opposed to higher reps and lighter weight while maintaining a "125 bpm heart rate"? Is it because more muscle you have helps to redirect the body's fuel source to stored fat? Isn't true that you don't actually "burn" fat but instead you decrease the fat cell size? I thought the only way to "remove" fat was to have it sucked outa your body. Where did 125 bpm come from? Is that the same for everyone? I'm a little confused.... please provide some clarity... not trying to be confrontational... thanks!
