Keep your diet reasonably balanced, but don't worry too much about perfection in terms of your protein / fat / carb ratios. The number of calories you take in is the most important thing for weight management.
If you take in more calories than you burn, you will gain weight.
If you take in the same amount of calories that you burn, you will maintain a steady weight.
If you take in fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight.
As long as your intake isn't radically higher than maintenance level, a great majority of what you gain will be muscle - you can only build muscle so fast (just how fast depends a great deal on the individual's genetics). With anabolic steroids, you can pack it on faster, but there is still a limit.
As long as your intake isn't radically lower than maintenance level, a great majority of what you lose will be fat. If you attempt to lose weight too quickly (just how fast is too fast depends a great deal on the individual's genetics), your metabolism will panic and downshift - don't do this.
In order to ensure that most (or as much as is reasonably possible) of the weight that you gain is muscle, or that most of the weight that you lose is fat, engage in regular weight training. Focus on compound lifts (such as the squat, deadlift, bench press, and military press).
If you can't see your abs (but want to), then you're packing too much fat. Remember that spot-reduction by "targeted" exercises is a myth; the fat comes off in the reverse of the order that it went on (if your gut or butt got fat first, then your gut or butt will get "un-fat" last.aut viam inveniam aut faciam
