You ever try cutting with high carbs in a 45/35/20 type macro breakdown? A la Tom Venuto's "Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle"

Well, you can't cut and get stronger. Also i would up the meals to 8 a day just reduce the portion size, you always want to be burning cals, it will speed up your metabolism. The cardio looks like it can be a problem to. Might want to do cardio every morning and see how that works for you. Personally i can't do "intense" cardio after training let alone any cardio im so beat!

another good trick is put cayan pepper flakes in your water. i find after a few weeks of that the fat starts disappear. the cayan is suppose to act as a natural thermogenic. give it a try

I used to squat wide, PL style but could never get above around 210 x 3 or 198 x 5. I deloaded and tryed again and this time failed at 198 x 2. So I switched to olympic squatting two weeks ago, fully ATG and my problem of leaning forward when coming out the whole dissapeared. I started the oly squats one workout AFTER my PL squats and was stronger on the oly squats, that workout I got 176 x 6.

Now two weeks later already Im up to 198 x 3. So just as strong as my PL squat was. Why did this happen? Why did I get weaker and form got worse when using a wide stance which usually lets you use more weight?

You are hitting different muscles with the wide stance, more hips then in the oly style. As i've said time and time again EM you are young you need to build a foundation to work off, quit switching stuff up allll the time. Stick with something for 6-8 months and if you aren't gaining then you can think about switching it up. Weight lifting is along term battle, gains are slow.

Ah so its just the change in muscles worked? & I did stick with it, Iv squatted wide for ages, since about christmas, but it started getting weak and I was stuck at the same weight for over a month so I swapped to oly squats which I will stick to.
