Default Advice wanted

Can anybody help me..i am 36 and 5'7" tall and weigh approx 15 stone.I have a 'belly' but it isn't through drinking as i am teetotal.I like to eat chicken,pasta,rice,tuna,salmon,fruit and activia yogurts(1 every day).I am physically quite fit but I have been advised by my doctor to lose some weight as i have high cholestrol levels at 8.2 and he is concerned about them and i have been put on simvastatin tablets to control it.
The question i am asking is..i dont want to lose to much weight as i am quite stocky with broad shoulders(46-48" chest) and i would like the way i looked even more if i was toned up a bit and i was wondering if there was anybody out there who could give me some advice about improving my fitness levels more and possibly i am looking to bulk up to retain the stocky build but get rid of the belly and improve my cholestrol levels...can anybody recommend a diet and/or gym routine etc..i could manage a routine based around 3 workouts a week..MON,WED,FRI etc..any advice is greatly appreciated.

Steve.

bit of a contradiction there mate,ur lookin to lose weight then u say ur lookin to bulk up

if ur lookin to lose ur belly then cardio is the way,ur diet looks to be ok,maybe cut the carbs dwn a little while uppin the protien intake and doin cardio will retain ur muscle and lose the belly,i cant see the wii shifting much weight tbh,maybe make u slightly fitter but its not a miracle worker
