new and in need of advice

hello, everyone!
I've been browsing the forums just to get everything thing down and use the FAQ to answer as many questions as possible but I have a couple that i simply cant answer

I'm 20 yrs old 6'0" 198, I'm very active (surf 2-3 days a week) i go to the gym 4 days a week at minimum. I played baseball up until the past year and i could get away with eating just about anything and not gain a pound, well 2 yrs have past and I want to get back down to a decent weight, but dont know anything about dieting, Ive been working out for the past month and have lost 2 LBS, i don't even know where to start with a diet. I went and filled out the calorie calculator and it said for fat loss :2279 calories a day? I want to cut some fat away and build some muscle, but my number one goal is to get a flat stomach back.

my workout:
Monday and wednesdays
cardio 5 minutes
bench press (12,10,8)
tricep pulldowns (12,10,8)
incline Brench press (12,10,8)
dips (12,10,8)
3 AB exercises
cardio 10 minutes

in between all of my sets for each exercise i jump rope for 30 sec-1minute

Tuesday and Thursday
cardio 5 minutes
bicep curls (12,10,8)
rows (12,10,8)
Bicep dumbell curls (12,10,8)
lateral pull downs (12,10,8)
jump rope in between sets
cardio 10 minutes


please critique all you want i am open to all opinions and advice

also i could use some advice on a good diet

when u say diet you mean getting onto a proper diet and not dieting right? because those 2 are different.. Dieting is something I don't recommend at all.. they simply do not work.. you have to get on a proper diet..eat healthy..

5 mins of cardio??what do you do for cardio??is it intense enough??honestly I kinda think it's too short..

as for your dips.. well I don't really know why there is a decreasing number of reps per set..they should all be the same..unless your strapping on increasing weights or something..which i honestly dont see the point of..

but, if you are doin dips with your own body weight, then u should make sure that you atleast complete the same number of reps per set..
