    I do lift but I guess not enough. I rep out 225 on bench about 20 times (3 sets) and I mainly do power cleans up to 250lbs and I run on a treadmill until I have burned 2000 calories. but I only run maybe 3 times a week.
    Less cardio. That should give you more strength for the lifting, which will help you retain your muscles (if you're doing a cut). It'll help you build muscles if you're doing a bulk (calorie surplus). Basically, cardio can help make an easy calorie deficit. It doesn't make you more muscular. It can actually make lifting suffer. Working on things that require more muscles make you more muscular.

    Exactly. If you don't estimate your calories in then you will not likely be able to get as lean as you seem to want to be. Get a reasonable estimate of calories consumed and compare it to a reasonable estimate of calories burned. As long as in is a bit less than out, you will lose. It really is that simple. Track your food.

    This.

    Unless you're logging accurately you don't have any way of knowing what you need to do, diet wise.
