While creatine will add water weight, know that it's water weight inside the muscle. Thus it will make your muscles look bigger, but probably won't make you look bloated. While a small portion of the population are creatine non-responders, most people will see some benefit in terms of muscle size/strength/power. As others have said, best way to use it is 5 grams/day, taken whenever you feel like it. No loading, no cycling, use pure creatine monohydrate. And drink enough water!!! Try to dissolve it in something warm. Some people (myself included) experience diarrhea if it's not well enough dissolved. A warm liquid will help it dissolve more completely.

Usually to get more definition, a cut would do that, the muscle pops out more as the fat is stripped away. That's why it's easy to think you've built muscle when you're on a recomp when really you've just revealed the muscle underneath.
Did you need to bulk first OP?0 -

If you wanna tone, I recommend weightlifting for reps(10-14 range) and less carbs and more protein. Vitamins are never a bad idea; combine all this with an adequate amount of cardio and you have a formula for success. Hope I could help
