Hi everyone. I'm currently 18 years old and use to weight 220-225lbs and now I weight 180lbs. I lost weight by getting on our treadmill and cutting out pop and junk snack food.

Here are my goals:
Loose fat, get rid of my "man boobs", and gain a lot of muscle I wanna look pretty buff but not like a bodybuilder.

I need help with a diet plan, I'm not a fruit and salad person. Any supplements I should take? I just started taking GNC mega men sport vitamins. I joined a local gym and have started lifting weights, I kinda enjoy it. Thank you
