The best way to "lower" your bodyfat percentage at this point is to gain more muscle mass. Losing anymore fat might not be possible, and still remain healthy. Remember, you're already thin, so in that respect you're carrying less bodyfat than an average bodybuilder your height. So focus on gaining another 5-10 lbs. of muscle mass, and by virtue of your change in muscle:fat ratio, your bodyfat percentage will be "lower". (ie. same amount of bodyfat, but more muscle, by comparison).

Just for the record, most people who walk around with muscle shirts who have absolutely no definition would love to look like this guy, but the fact is, they tout their "you're skinny" bull**** around because they either genetically can't do it, or they are too lazy or don't want to stop drinking beer all day.
And to say it's a "nasty" look is uncalled for. Most girls prefer muscular over soft. So you keep keep your 18% body fat and leave the pretty girls for this guy.

why do you want to achieve some arbitrary number for your bodyfat %? you're lean. you look good. if you find out that you're actually 7%, will that change anything other than your perception and how much you can pound your chest?
anyway, if you want to create change, you have to institute change.$157 billion creates 650,000 jobs = $240,000 cost to create or save 1 job
