2 is food. based on your height and weight and current exercise will determine how many calories you should consume,fish is good, eat alot of protein and light on the carbs. fish chicken veggies and fruit, and protein shakes.

3 is a good workout.

im a certified personal trainer i can help write you a program if your intrested. just pm me.

best of luck !
couldn't have said it any better.

you can work out all you want but if you eat like crap you'll look like crap. Ever notice how you really want that huge bowl of ice cream then you eat it all and feel like crap after? Yet you'll never want to eat a plain piece of chicken breast and rice but you'll feel pretty normal after.

Everyone is different and it'll probably take some tweaking to figure out how your body reacts to proteins/carbs/fats.

if you don't have time to tweak a personal trainer is your best bet. Heck even if you do have time to tweak they're a great option if you have the money to spare.
