plz help a beginner, i dont know where else to turn

Hi, im in highschool and I have a somewhat bad body... Im not fat, i have some chunk and slight man-boobs....and i just wanna slim down and get rid of both... I used to work out ALOT and my body never changed, I then realized that my diet was terrible and not helping... i have a layer of fat before my abdominals but i feel like if i could get rid of this layer i would have a pack easily....

Its affecting the way I feel... I wish i could just go to a friends hosue and take off my shirt and feel great... thats my dream... Diets somewhat hard for me but this time i am very willing to tone down...

I wish to know what excericise i will need to do...I weigh about 140-144 pounds and I am a little over 5'9... I hear that i have to burn more calories then i consume and other stuff...

My Goals:

-Lose man-boobs

-Get rid of the fat on my stomach so i can make a pack show up

-To just lose fat in that overall area and be slim...


I was willing to do anything before... I tried, although I cant, to puke after meals but i could never get it to work right... but i have realised this doesnt work, and that i need to be healthy and get proper diet...

I am asking for feedback, motivation (heehee), and just some insight...
Maybe i can keep a log on this post or something...PLZ HELP ME! I AM TIRED OF SUCKING IN AND PEOPLE GRABBING AT MY CHEST!

p.s. maybe i can post pics or something?

What is your diet or do you just eat three meals a day?  What is your work out and what do you have access to as of weights/gym/machines?  Post pics also so we can give advise.  I am pretty sure that all of us here at DB can help you.

im trying to lose it fast because when i dont see results i lose motivation, but if i know that what im doing is right and my diet and excersise is right then im sure ill stick with it longer than expected...

You should be bulking at 140 lbs.  However, do a half hour to an hour of cardio exercises like running, speed rope, etc to minimize and reduce fat levels.  Do these once or twice a week.
 
To bulk up, you need to focus on doing 3 free weight lift, bench press, squat, and deadlift.  Other good exercises are tricep cable pushdowns, close grip bench press, incline dumbbell curls, and dips.  I do a 3 day split.  Monday: Chest, triceps, abs.  Wednesday: Legs, Shoulders.  Friday: Back, Biceps, Abs.  Have a trainer or experienced friend show you proper form.  You need to get atleast 8-9 hours of sleep each night.  At your height and weight, you should be taking in about 3000 calories a day, with around 150 grams of protein.
 
Bench press will make your chest harder and make you look more muscular.  This, and proper cardio will probably solve your "man-boobs".
 
I am a similar height as you.  Ive gained considerable size through a focus on proper nutrition and sleep.  For the first few months, my training sucked, but my diet and sleep were great.  As a beginner you will probably gain a good amount of muscle in just a few months.

Squat 385, Bench 235, Deadlift 450 @ 181.
