I just started competing this year and here is how I did it:
cardio-first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and after workout in the evening 7 days a week
lifting-drop sets on last set of every exercise (drop half and burn it out and then drop half again if you got the energy)
supplements-ECA is a must! also, glutamine, creatine, and BCAA will help you keep your gains. I've never tried T-3, clen, or some of the others mentioned above, but hear they are great. I'd see what I can do without them first though.
diet-1.5-2 grams of protein per pound from many different sources and plenty of egg whites, 100-150grams of carbs (no pasta or bread, all fruits and veggies like sweet potatoes, broccolli, green beans, oatmeal, brown rice, etc). Also be sure to get the essential fatty acids to help you burn fat (flax seed oil, olive oil, peanut butter to name a few). about 50grams of fat per day with 8-12 grams saturated fat. Beans are also good to help keep you from being constipated.
Hope this helps.
