if you work the back and also abs and 30-45 mins of cardio you should be fine cut down carbs. When you are doing strength training on each lift besides contracting at peak point contract abs also, all lifts you use abs at some point you just dont know it and by working lower back will help to strengthing abs, but must do ab work as much as it sucks it is the hardest muscle to work because it is so dense and takes time, need to hit all 3 points of the abs in your work out,also ab work should be done everyday just like calfs and forarms, but carbs need to be cut down simple carbs complex are fine beer is a wasted carb but you can still have them, just remember to always contract abs on all lifts and must i say must work lower back because it is just like working bi's and not working working the tri's.
you will be fine just takes time because of thickness of the muscle now the bad new is if you are thick skin and have some fat you need to try to take half off first if not you will be building muscle under fat and then it is hard to slim it down i am perfect with that, after ball and powerlifting with all the juice i went off the high protain and and flax seed oil that was my fat but when i quit it was all over used very little carbs under 25 grams and 0 sugar so no oj or things like that but that was extream diet but the point is once you have it need to trim some off or you will have a hard gut i am not fat but thick and rock hard but it would be very hard to take off would have to go down to about 220 then rebuild and i am done with that stuff just do lifetime fittness now and will go back to it after the knee, the more protain you add the more muscle you will build.
you will be fine does not sound like you are large around there so do what i said and it will work don't worry about wait after you drop what you think you need from target area because muscle weighs more then fat. but it is a must to work them 5 times a week it sucks but as i said very thick muscle and needs to be worked like that by adding hydroxy cut to work out and diet 3 times a day will work very good , start slow and work up to 6 pills a day check bp first as long as bottom number id under 90 you can take it, also water water and water the more you drink the more the body will get rid of traped fluid. hope this helps but make sure to hit all 3 points.
good luck
