Why is it that you believe members in the overweight and obese forum could answer your question?I think you are posting this question in the wrong way.It would be wise to consider the forum before posting your question.

I read somewhere, can't remember. a 6 Packs Procedure. Where instead of taking 1 beer you take 6, everything in Six!... Trust me that'll work. Give it time.

That isn't possible, you wol dbe dead, bodybuilders (male) compete between 2-5% and they are really pushing the limits.

Eat more healthy food, do less cardio, lift heavy weights. You should be able to gain a little mass and a little fat by increasing your intake.

Handheld bodyfat analysis is bvery inaacurate and posting this in this forum was very inconsiderate, I hope you aren't just being smarmy.
