cuttin carbs after a certain time is just another example of "broscience" all this eating 6-8 times a day every 2 hours, no carbs after 6pm, fasted morning cardio etc etc is imo a load of rubbish. You gain weight by eating too many calories - you lose weight by eating less calories. Its cals in vs cals out. If to lose weight you need to eat 2500 cals, you could have it over 5,4,3, or even 2 meals.
You could eat 2500 cals of pasta if you wanted...is it advisable...obviously not as you would feel like sh*t with all that gluten, wheat being digested, but you would still lose weight if you are eating at a surplus. Carbs after a certain time is also a myth - how does your body know wot time it is and why is it a specific time not 8pm or 10pm or 12pm (Dorian Yates words not mine lol)
Like Mesnut said, there are many routines, etc but you gotta stick to something for at least a few months to know if it works. Get a solid weight lifting routine. Go to bodybuilding.com and look at the "find a plan" tab on there if you need some guidance if stronglifts isnt your thing. as previous post look at leangains for diet advice, Do weight training 3 times a week with cardio 2-3 times a week and results will follow

you gain weight by eating too many calories yes, but you RETAIN weight by not understanding how your body uses up calories as well.
thats where the more, smaller meals, and knowing what to eat when applies.
a person can be 75kg and certainly not overweight for his bodyframe, yet he could want to gain muscle, or Lose some bodyfat.
if he doesnt eat properly, at the right times it doesnt matter how well he works out he will be missing out on getting to his goal faster, and better than just watching calories in isolation. Other factors such as age, and the good old genetics stuff come into play but the complete structure is regulating your body to burn calories throughout the day, and you do that by timing your foods and understanding what you're eating when and why.

how old are you ?
what you were doing when you were like 18 wont work if your 25
before when i used to bulk i still had a flat stomach.....now i only have that if i cut and obv abs wont show unless your work on the muscles there
defo wouldnt stop wieghts
bang out the weights 3 times a week and cardio twice....change up your diet and cut out carbs after 4/5pm
different things work for different people but chose a schedule and stick to it for at least 2months....your not going to see results overnight

the programs on bb.com are almost universally awful, rippetoes starting strength is probably the best novice program around.
