Hey Nate,

Speaking as someone with a similar problem, let me suggest this:

If you're lifting weights, notch back on the weight and increase your reps. Lighter weight with more reps will give you tone not mass. Since you're a big guy, you want to tone up and lost some of the fat that keeps you from looking defined. It's easy to build muscle mass, keep your weight the same, and not see much difference in the mirror.

If you're not already doing it, add some cardio like walking/bike riding/calisthenics. If you're already doing some, do some more.

Drink TONS of water. You'll piss all day long but it will help flush your system out.

Eat 5 or 6 times a day, but "snack" size meals. This will keep your metabolism running efficiently and keep you from putting on new fat.

HTH
