if your looking to cut down definitely decrease the weight in your workout a little, and instead of doing something like 8 reps try to get it to 15 or 20

And no, it's not just about getting more protein to gain muscle- While protein is definitely important to building muscle, so are carbs and fats- Carbs, for example, help your body process the protein into muscle. The right types of carbs can even help you burn fat.

well, muscle needs fuel, no food = no muscle growth.... so to answer your question, no. You need to eat more than what your maintainence level is....

when you said you wanna get harder in your muscle, i'm not sure if it has to do with a lower body fat %? someone help me on that question too! :D

Depending on how much you eat, what kind of cardio you do, how many reps and the kind of work outs you do, you can have drastically different results than somebody else. Try switching up what you eat, and what do for your workouts if you arent getting results you want.
