My mission as of the start of June is to get as much definition out of my body as I can and I would like some tips.

I've been training for years and am happy with my size, (6ft1 > 15 stone) however I would not say I have the beach body look that I would like, ripped abs etc.
As I see it getting toned isn't about doing high reps etc, as I can't imagine that muscles change shape to be more defined, I have the assumption this is an extreme diet thing and just shed as much fat off as I can so you can see the muscles better.

Do I need to change my routine in the gym for this or should I just keep heavy lifting with addition cardio?
Anyone got a strict regime that works? Chicken>veg>chicken>veg>water? :D
I guess what I am asking is how to balance carbs so that I don't start burning off either the protein I'm eating or the muscle I have, whilst also burning the fat I already have and whats the best way to burn off it by working out.

Some info on a good place to start would be appreciate before I wade through the hundreds of click bait pages on the internet ultimately ending up with about 50 different ways to skin a cat.

So a calorie deficit is the key. I may start a forum log so that I have a reason to stick to it.
Anyone ever tried this struggled with refinined sugar addiction. I think, I'm going to struggle hard to give u the suagr in tea or chocolate bars, cola etc.
 
No I appreciate that, not in the sense I am going to get the shakes but I can attest to being very irritable and constantly claming for something sugary.
