Hi badversion,

First I would like to say, you're not fat. Second, are you trying to achieve an "athletic look" or a bodybuilder type? With either look you're trying to achieve, you'll definitely need to hit the weights. Because of your frame, you don't need to do any intense cardio...unless you want to improve your respiratory system, this will hinder muscle growth. If you must cardio, then keep it at low-intensity. Lift heavy and to failure (or close to it). Do this by starting out with a weight you're comfortable with, then progressively increase the weights as you get stronger. Keep a journal to monitor your progress. No need to do high reps in any one exercise...8-10 reps/set will suffice. Just make sure every rep count. And of course, strive to take in 1gram of protein per pound of body weight. Don't limit carb intake, but it has to come from sources like veggies and sweet potatoes. Don't be afraid of healthy fats either, like avocados and olive oil. Just don't eat too much. Remember it's not just about looking good, but feeling good too.

Hope this helps

I want to bulk up but I don't want to be a huge body building guy.

Just fit enough for football.

I hate cardio anyways.

I do 15reps for every exercise.

Edit - What is low intensity cardio ...I mean doing if for less mintues or at less power

I do treadmill for 15mins at 2 mins - walk at 6.5mph then 8 mins 7.5mph(jogging) and then the last 5 mins 8.5mph(running) and then 3 mins cool down

then elliptical machine at difficulty level 4 and speed ranging from 9.0 to 11.0 again for 15mins + 3mins cool down

then cycling for 10 mins+ 3mins cool down at level 8 difficulty and speed of 11.0 to 14.0
