Nothing hangs over my belt, my body is tight no fat hanging, exercising everyday. Etc etc. Honestly if anyone thinks these are bad things they are flat out silly. lol Im probably in better shape than 80% of the population of the U.S. of most people in their 30's.

True, all true, you are definitely pointed in the right direction. I would suggest though that you quit digging in your heels and defending and instead take some of the advice given and try it out. I mean, if you already knew all the answers and know everything about nutrition and fitness then why start such a thread at all, right?
You're getting some positive results, the question is do you want better results than that?

My previous post on diet doesn't suggest anything close to eating like a squirrel. It's what I'd tell anyone who, like you, is just wanting to get fitter and not go full retard about it or become Mr Olympia or anything. You said you want more tone and definition in your abs, I'm simply trying to tell you a few things to get you there. Take some of the advice given and it won't take you another year, you could be where you want to be in 3 months.
And judging by the last pic you posted I'd guestimate your % bodyfat at more like 15-18%. Still very good, the national average in the US is somewhere around 30% so you're correct in assuming you're ahead of the curve.
I would put DlXPhil at around the 10% mark, but he could even be slightly below that, hard to say with any certainty from his pic. Dude is definitely fit though, muscle-wise.
