alright so, anybody want to help me with cutting?

[kararayne]

so, Im 18, about 6-6ft 1. ive been working out and weightlifting steadily for a year now (steadily as in ive never had a week where ive gone to the gym less than 3 times, its usually 4-5), ive been working on cleaning up my diet, it still needs work though.
not really looking to get much bigger i just need to lose all the extra fat, i work my legs alottt, they just never get sore anymore. leg extentions for quads, is up to 150 now (both together), hamstring curls are 150(both together too), glute kickbacks is about 135 each leg, do alot of glute-ham raises holding 35 pound weight, incline leg press is just usually 3 plates on each side (270 pounds), arms i dont worry about so much but they are getting stronger too, tricep pulldowns are just 35, lat pulldowns 75.
i used to do alot of cardio but now not as much i need to up it.
also im a vegetarian, dont worry id never give up my dairy and eggs.
take about 30 grams of whey protein in a shake after workouts, i take womens ultramega multivitamin twice a day, vegegreens when i remember to, take superpump max preworkout (delicious), Ive also been taking ripped freak every morning lately sometimes two a day, i also have MPower by rivalus which i take sometimes, pro-sculpt by gnc sometimes but not lately because of the ripped freak. Ive been noticing a little more definition and fat loss since i started the burners, but not enough. iknow it would be alot faster if i cleaned up my diet a little more. What can I do differently, and whats the best kind of diet for cutting. also what should i avoid

Vegetarian, lot of suppliments, no cardio, what appears to be static weight training sessions. Should be able to give some guidance here without too much issue.

Diet first. First priority on diet always has to be balance. Being vegetarian doesn't make this impossible but does mean you need to think it through more than your omnivorious equivilants.
Adding suppliments only makes getting this balance even more difficult. So I would advise getting diet right or as close as possible first and only supplimenting what you absolutely need, ideally none.
There are food pyrmaids to give guidance on what types of food to eat in rough proportion don't look at portion numbers look at comparative volumes. There will be vegetarian pyramids available to give you basic guidance.
The western sports suppliment irony. The western diet is proportionately high in sugar, salt fat and protein, so by proportion alone the area we need more of is the complex carbs we are designed to have as staple food (ideally 60-65% or calorific intake should be carbs, 95% of this as starch). So when you look at sport suppliments what do they contain, protein and sugars, things we are eating too much of anyway, protein should be 17.5% of calorific intake and sugar take up maximum of 5% of the carb share approx. 3% overall.
Taking in too much protein will either result in it not being absorbed at all especially the pre-digested drinks that many glug down, or it will have to be safely converted or disposed of to prevent it becoming toxic in the body. Our systems aren't wasteful and will convert all they can to lipoprotein, a form of fat, to be locked away in storage and used for energy in lean times, what can't be converted will be disposed of as urea. This means most of your supplimented protein wil have become fat the rest will have been passed or excreted.
The idea that we need this much protein comes from the belief that muscle is made of protein, in fact I even saw someone saying if you wanted to gain a set weight of muscle you needed to take in that amount of protein. Problem with this myth is that muscle is 75% water so we don't need anywhere near the equivilant weight of protein.
What I am detailing below is something I used to explain how little protein would be required for muscular growth based on some very optomistic gains. Consider you aren't wanting gains based on what you have said.
Desired mass gain 7.3kg in one year
Subtract water at 75% leaves 1.825kg of protein assuming muscle is pure portein and water.
Daily protein required to get this would be increase of 5grams a day of protein for that weight gain.
Consider there is around 8 grams of protein in the average cup of milk, you start to see how little you need to suppliment protein in your diet.

Back to the core points you will actually want regarding diet, how to drop some excess. Eat in balance but a small amount less than you are burning, looks simple, is simple and works everytime. The rate of fat loss should be between 1 and 2 pounds a week to make it a level the body can maintain without fighting back by dropping metabolism etc. So the daily calorie deficit should be 500 to 1,000 no more. Eat less across the board not cutting out, just cutting down. Suppliments are last resort and more likely to mess up your balance than help you if you work on your food intake.

If you never get sore anymore it means you are not overloading your body. This in turn means you will not get the most out of it. Training doesn't have to leave you immobile for days but you should certianly know what has been worked the day or so before.
I am guessing you are doing the same exercises consistantly. I could be wrong but the symptoms look familiar. This will mean you have become very used to these exercises and your body is never shocked anymore.
Variation within your training is very important. The changes don't have to be drastic but need to happen at planned intervals. A session block will normally be around 8 weeks, dependant on the individual but this is average, where you have all workouts planned including exercises and rep ranges. Keep to this for the full term then change things around, change could be just exercises, rep ranges or a combination of both. Shocking the body like this with regular change will keep it overloaded and mean you consitantly improve.

No cardio, the most common flaw in so many peoples regime, males are most guilty here. Variation over time is good, variety of training is essential. Most know why cardio is important, but many don't realise that cardio can be done in a number of ways, it doesn't mean sitting on bikes or pounding pavements, personally I like pounding pavements, but I'm a bit strange. Cardio is keeping your heart rate elevated constantly during a workout, so weight training in a no rest circuit lasting 20 minutes or more is cardio just as much as wiggling your butt on a bike.
Cardio will give you better recovery and keep the doctor happy by giving you stronger heart and lungs. It also burns fat while you train and after while anaerobic is purely after.
Don't make it a choice of aerobic or anarobic or power or mobility or whatever else (how many ors should a sentence have again, oh yeah that would be one), do some of everything you enjoy but be sure to do some cardio.

Do please feed back if this looks confusing, or you think I am way off. I am not always right and can easily be unclear with what I say.
