carb cycling question

Im thinking about adding in carb cycling to my (20-25%)defecit to help promote more fat loss. right now im doin cardio 6/7 days a week, lifting 4, heres my diet currently, my mantenance is about 3400cals im on my cut days im at 2600 cals but i go back to mantenance 2 days a week to keep my metabolism up. heres an ex of my diet
breakfast 3 serrvings oatmeal w/o sugar, w/ skim milk
lunch:egg beaters, tuna sandwich on low carb wheat, turkey sandwich on wheat, veggies or fruit
snack: some sort of fruit
snack: peanut butter/pretzels
postworkout shake (3 scoops)
dinner: whole grain pasta/tomato sauce, veggies
snackatmeal cookies/ or high fiber snack bar (only 100cals) w/ glass of skim milk
I did a fitday and my ratios were 55%carb 20%fat and 25% protein and about 2500/2600cals, ive read that you can go down safely to 40-45% carbs and up your protein so I was wondering how I could manipulate my carb meals or when should i have them or is it even a good idea in the first place? oh im also 20yrs old, 11/12%bf 180lbs, im trying to cut for a six pack by august for my vacation does that seem like a reasonable goal I kind have all my bf in my abdominal area due to large weight loss(100lbs) if I flex now lower abs sort of show after i ve just worked out but goes away, i think if I get to 8 or9%bf they'll really show
