This is all diet and training bro. Your gaols are easily reached. Tell us what you are currently doing so we can critique it and get you on the right track.

Ok IMHO if we are trying to cut a bit I would lower carbs and up protein intake. Increase your good fats a bit and run a 50/20/30. P/C/F. The foods you have listed are the right ones but we need to get the timing of them down. I would have absolutely no carbs in evening meals and up the fat intake by using some olive oil, or something similar to increse the fat intake. That with the cardio and training you are doing should start to shed some fat bro!

I saw Rip post that in the thread you are referring to and while I understand what he is saying I can't say I agree with it. Keeping carbs low during a cut is going to allow you to burn more energy from fat stores thus allowing you to achieve your goal much more quickly. While the body will most likely go through a period of lethargy as a result that will normally level off once you start to use the fat stores as fuel instead of the excess carbs. Once you achieve desired look then you can gradually start re adding the carbs.

Sorta Light version of keto... Works freakin wonders if you stick at it and get it down right. Instead of sitting there with stored carbs you simply use them for brain function and gym basically, then fat is used intermittently
