"mono" is short for mononucleosis...a viral disease similar to Epstein Barr syndrome......
here is a link:

This OP has to get himself healthy first before worrying about abs....despite the reputation of mono as a "kissing" disease ( as it is spread by saliva), it is more a condition of being run down....

6'1 at 162lbs. That would lead me to believe the OP would have abs showing, since generally that would be low bodyfat. However after a 60lb crash, I could see losing a ton of muscle mass. Which now leads me to believe the OP is skinny fat.
So.....op, I suggest start lifting heavy in the gym. Not ab work, doing real exercises, the primary heavy compounds. Bench press, bentover row, pull up, shoulder press, deadlift, and squat. Build up your overall muscle mass, and it will indirectly work the hell out of your abs, which should get them to some decent form.
After you've been doing the basics for awhile, then you can toss in some heavy ab work if you want, to try to grow the muscles and get your coveted six pack if it isn't showing by this point (and I'd be amazed if it wasn't).-

OP = original poster
I'm not familiar with them, but it sounds like halocore and boulder meth are pro hormones? If so, what spurred you to try one at 18 and younger?
You are relying too much on protein bars. Those are probably the worst way to get your protein. I mean if you are in a bind, by all means, it is better than hitting up the vending machines at work for a bag of cheetos. But you are at home, make some food.
Diet should consist of a meal every 2-3 hours. Protein at every meal, get fibrous veggies with as many meals as possible (corn and potatoes do not count, they are starches). When you get carbs, make sure they are whole grains. Eat healthy fats throughout the day.
Just to let you know, subway is a decent option if you have to eat out, but you are probably better off making your own wraps at home and taking them with you.
Low cardio = little cardio. Do just a minimum to keep your CVS (cardiovascular system) well, and that is it. you need to put on some muscle mass.-

generally 2 a days would be too much (over a long period of time) but you are only doing 30 minutes, so that shouldn't be bad.
The biggest thing for you to gain weight, is you need to eat more. I have always been the skinny kid. I didn't break 100lbs until 9th grade. Then as high school went on, and poor eating + partying took it's toll I was skinny fat. Then I got into working out some, and slowly learning more and fixing diet, I became pretty much just skinny again. Still no where I wanted to be. I finally started lifting heavy and learned how to manage a solid diet, and went on some bulks. I now hover around 165-170, and if I'm on a good bulk, I've neared 185 twice.
As long as you are lifting pretty heavy, start eating more, and you'll gain mass. Then worry about a cut again to get those abs to show.-

eat protien + fat and substitute all your carbs for green veggies and fruits. I guarantee you in 30 days your 6pack will be showing.

why do you have a trap shoulder abs day, twice a week? Seems excessive to me.
Seeing as what your goals are, I want to suggest a full body split (although I am a bit of an advocate for it).
You could do it M/W/F and cardio on Tuesday/Thursday. Then rest Sat/Sun. While eating in a caloric surplus, you should have no problem putting on some mass.
However, if nothing else, perhaps a push day, a pull day, and a leg day or something?
Another split I like is Back/Chest day and Shoulders/legs day (pretty much horizontal and vertical), you do it on a schedule something like Back/chest on Monday, shoulder/legs on Tuesday, rest wednesday, Back/Chest on Thursday, and Shoulders/legs on Friday, rest sat/sun.-

With which routine?
With my full body, I focus on the compounds, where arms are indirectly hit with the compounds for back and chest and shoulders, and at the end I'll do a few sets of isos, for biceps and triceps.
Same thing pretty much for the others. Focus primarily on compounds, and toss some isos in at the end.-
