Lower body weight/fat exposes more of mine.

To get muscle definition you need a good muscle base and low enough body fat. For the former, follow a structured program like those listed here (http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10332083/which-lifting-program-is-the-best-for-you) and make sure you get enough protein (at least .8 grams per pound of lean mass). For the latter, start eating in a calorie deficit. Losing fat will happen first, but lifting will help you retain as much muscle as possible until you reach a point where you can recomp or bulk.

Calorie deficit

If you want more definition you want to lose the fat covering your muscles - this will typically be done by eating at a calorie deficit and doing resistance training to maintain the muscle there. That being said, you have to have enough muscle in the area for it to show so definition is not only about lower bodyfat but about sufficient muscle base as well.

-Eat in a calorie deficit (or maintenance if you are at a healthy weight)
-Follow a progressive resistance program (for best results)
-Adequate protein (around 0.8-1g per lb lean body mass /goalweight)
-Lots of patience and consistency
