Definitely try cutting sugars, fats, and carbs out of your diet as much as you can. Try to have a gram of protein for every lb of body weight as well. Take a look at eating a ton of fish (tilapia, salmon, canned tuna) and salads with extra virgin olive oil and lemon.

I am not sure to be honest, I was looking at the BMI calculator and it was telling me that I need to get to 145-150 to be classified as "fit". I am not sure how accurate that is but if I can somehow tone up and get a sport/fitness look, I would much rather have that than trying to become super lean.
Thanks for the tip on protein, definitely something to look at.
Thanks again to everyone as I really appreciate the advice.
