Bro, not flaming but you need to be realistic - 25-30 pounds is a LOT of weight. Imagine 30 pounds of raw fat in front of you - I have enough trouble losing 5 pounds.
Its gonna require some seriouse dedication in terms of training, diet and time. Make up your mind to what level you wanna commit and take it from there.
Take a look at flexdaddy's progress pics (in the members pics forum) - he was in a similar position to you.
If you really wanna key in your diet as good as it can get bro's will help you out on here.
Basics again - lipoflame, calorie defecit (work out your BMR and take in at least 500/1000 cals less), high levels of protein to stop muscle waste, if you dont wanna do a keto I recommed High protein/ moderate fats (EFA fats like nuts, fish, fish oil, flax oil, olive oil)/ low carbs, make all your carbs low GI (ie oats, sweet potatoe, brown rice), no carbs after 4pm, you MUST do cardio in the morning on an empty stomach.
Hope this helps
