Hello, HELP ME PLEASE!

Hello everybody my names Ali and I'm from the U.K. The reason I'm posting this thread is frankly because I want to lose weight but I also want a good physique and the strength to go with it.. I don't want to do it for girls or something else, I actually want to do it as a personal goal, to have the strength and the body.I do diet and I go to boxing (gym/boxing) on mondays,wednesdays and fridays (3 times a week,2 hour session) when I go boxing I start off with a run around the block ( not sure how big but fairly medium sized round about half a mile most likely bigger) after this I do 9,5 minute sessions of skipping with 15 second breaks then 12 sessions on the boxing bags ( medium sized bag using 12 oz gloves) then atleast 3-5 sessions of shadow boxing. The last 20 minutes are spent doing a circuit , either a stamina based one ( running to a cone 10 burpees running back the to the start then to the next cone doing 10 tuck jumps e.t.c) or a regular 'tonne' circuit which consits of :
A plank ( longest I can do it is 2 minutes) press ups ( about 20 consecutive D: hoping to get that up ) sit ups (about 10-15) 10 burbees, 10 jumping jacks, 10 squats, 10 tuck-jumps, 10 sit ups with douple punch,alternative lunges ( some times weights about 9-12 is the max I can lift)
I am going to start diet and I don't mind splitting my foods, I know that I should have to clear all carbs and have protein and lean meats e.g liver.
I have been doing those excersices and sessions for the last 5 months and yet I still have a bit of a belly and well...'Boobs' I reallly don't like this and I have tried other sports like football but can't seem to enjoy them, boxing is one of the rare few I actually enjoy.My dad had a 6 pack and apparentely he never done any gym work , so I thought maybe it was in my ginetics? As I seem like a person who if they don't do a lot of excersice they end up chunky. Is it because I may have a low metabolism? And some advice on the dieting would be nice aswell please and ye...... That's it ( I forgot to mention I also take my red nose pit bull for 1 hour walks he pulls a lot so it takes a fair bit of energy I guess it counts for excersice ).
Thanks for reading - Ali
 
hey. welcome to the forum. yes, genetics plays a role in your muscle development, but it is not gained from doing nothing. The easy answer to getting the shape you want is to eat less and do more cardio ... the long answer depends on what you are currently eating (as the best diet is making adjustments to what you are currently eating, not creating a whole new diet) and what kind of cardio you like doing.
 
Hey, thanks for reading , cardio i enjoy is running, cycling and jumping rope and my diet mainly consists of lean meats , salad , fruit and plenty of water
 
Ali, it sounds like you have some grit and ur aiming in the right direction. How is your workout and diet consistency? You may need to upgrade things like frequency, intensity, and variety of workout to keep "shocking" your body into positive response. My clients love me because I do all the research - they just do what I tell them and get in good shape and improve physique drastically.
