Welcome to the pleasure dome!
Bigger and Cut are two different workout types... Pick one and go with it. Many folks will bulk up during the Fall and Winter months, and then start a cutting routine in the Spring (for that slick beach look).
Judging by your weight and height, I would guess that you want to cut first. Try:
Weights 3 days a week (3 sets of 10-12 reps each) and 3 or 4 days of ~40 minutes (daily) worth of cardio.
Also, I would suggest eating 5-8 smaller HEALTHY meals per day. Drink ~1 gallon of water everyday. Drop the soda and candy dude!
Give this routine 2 months to see some decent results.

thanks man. already done dropped the candy and soda. what should my small meals consist of?
cool. im going to have to re-arrange my entire day schedule to fit in all the meals and workouts now. im used to only eating maybe 2 meals a day due to work. i get home about midnight now, and i guess what i will do is go to sleep as soon as i get home, then wake up about 8, eat, go workout, come home and eat, then mess around the house for awhile, then eat before i go to work, then try to eat while at work, then eat as soon as i get home, and repeat.
should i space all my workouts on different days, what i mean is like:
should i do like back day one day, then like tricep/deltoid one day, then like bicep day, ect.? or should i seperate them into lower body/upper body days?
like for example i did lower today, calf raises, leg extensions, leg curls, leg press, and squat (like 2-3 sets on each of about 10-12 reps), should i do total upper tomorrow or what?
