Hi, I've been working out/eating right for about two months now and I dropped from 167 to about 157 (I'm 5' 11"). I've dropped allot of body fat, but I want to get a full-on 6-pack/muscular bod. Here is what routine has become:
Morning
1. Protein shake
2. 3mile run @ 8min a piece + 30min brisk walking
3. Cereal, cottage cheese, fruit
Afternoon
1. Protein Shake
2. 1mile run @ 7min + 30min brisk walking + push-ups, sit-ups, bicycles, leg-lifts @ 3-4 reps of 10 a piece; double that for push-ups
3. Tuna salad on whole-weat, two egg-whites, cottage cheese
4. 2-3miles of brisk paced walking
Evening
1. Salad (Balsamic vin), chicken, small portion of pasta
2. Probably 300cals of pistachios (I like pistachios)
I've been doing this specific routine for a 4 days now. I'm starting to see muscles in stomach, especially a V-ish muscle that starts above hip bone and wraps down at an angle, but there is still some fat on lower back and lower .
Will this routine take me all the way there? Should I change anything? Should I load on more protein?
Pushing through to the full-on 6-pack

Change the Cottage cheese for low Fat. It's more Protein rich and the Fat ratios are better in opinion.
Also beware of the heavy metals in fish. I'd only consume Tuna at most 3x a week and switch it for something like Chicken as an example.
