ok i can feel my abs under like a cm thick "puppy" fat on my stomach...ive surfed around a bit on the web and the number one option for getting rid of that fat and being able to see my 6 pack is a diet right?...

Loss of body fat.....which yes means a good clean diet. You need around 12% body fat( if your a guy) to see a 6 pack, less if you wanna see it most of the time even relaxed.

I didn't know about the body fat % level. I'm at 16% right now, and I think I can see a little trace of the top 2 abs but I'm not sure if that's what it is. Is it possible to start seeing the abs at 16%?

Yes, bf% isn't always good, cause theres somthing called intercellar fat. Fat in the muscles them selves. SO yes it is possible, But I think to see all them. nicly without holding your breath and sucking in, you need abotu 12 on average.

this intercellar fat that is inside the muscle is a bad thing? If so how do you know if you have it and how do you get rid of it?

Most dangerous is visceral fat........fat near organs etc. Body needs some fat, it acts as a cushon.....from blows and also as insulation to help keep body warm. Too much of anything is bad.
