I've also recently just started and found that with just walking on the treadmill but elevated (up hill) it has burn more stomach fat than any other excercise that I've done before.

No supplements. Creatine is not what you need, nor is some crappy fat manipulating product. All those Fat / metabolism products are either dangerous, or inneffective. Seriously they are all completely B.S. and a waste of money, so stop using them immediately 
.
You need to increase the weights, instead of just sticking to light. You don't need tonnes of Cardio either.
You have choices on the way you train.
TBT 3x a week
Bodypart Splits 5 days a week
Upper body, lower body splits, two of each, training 4 days a week.
Combined splits, I.E. Legs + Biceps, Chest + Triceps, Back + Shoulders. 3 day split.
You could then add 2-3 sessions of Cardio, or about 30 minutes. Something not very adaptive, like Interval stuff, depending on when you do it it would be after a session or the next day when you're not doing weights, remembering you shouldn't exceed 5 days of exercise, so you have at least 2 rest days and you'd be advised not to have the rest days back to back, otherwise you'll train upto 5 days straight, thne have two off, where you do no exercise which may erode progress a bit.
As for the diet.
Eating less but more often is not always a good thing, if you're too restrictive. The danger is for people to cut back off the bad stuff, eat good stuff, but go too low, so someone eating 3,000 calories of what could be 50%-70% poor nutrition, thne eat about 95% good nutrition, but only around 1,000-1,200 calories, which can cause metabolic weakening, fat retention and things lke lost muscle and bone mass, increased Anemia risk and other issues from lack of nutrients.
You could have something like this as an example diet.
Breakfast: Cereal with 3 Egg Whites and a Yolk.
Snack, Low Fat Cheese and some Berries.
Lunch: Chicken Salad
Snack, Ham and Tomato Sandwhich
Dinner: Lean Beef with a Baked Potato.
Snack: Portion of Peanuts.
That's an example, but it highlights what you could do.
