Was going to start a whole new thread but didn't think it was necessary after reading this one.

Been hitting the gym for the last 6 months, and been hittin' it hard. But I still feel like my progress isn't as good as it should be.
Stats-
Height: 5'7
Weight: 167 lbs.

I have only lost about 5 pounds in the last six months, but I must be doing something wrong. My goal is to lose 17 pounds total and be "defined" (not really crazy about big muscles).
I do around 35-40 minutes of cardio per day, and some chest, legs, abs and arms alternately.
I DO see some progress, especially around my belly, shoulders chest and butt, but I know for a fact that my eating habits aren't optimal.
I did get some tips from a friend, and he said: eat nothing but proteins and amino acids before and after working out, and have a small dinner, which I haven't really done- and he also said: 20% is about the work out and 80% is about what you eat.

So, yeah... Basically, I would like a little guidance, tips, dos, don't dos, anything is welcome.

Thanks in advance!
