In terms of banging girls it would be better to lose your gut. I am in the process of cutting down to 10% bodyfat and once all my abs are showing again I will carefully watch my calories and eat 300 cals above maintenance and slowly gain muscle while keeping my 6 pack. If you are chubby you basically have to choose between staying chubby and gaining muscle or losing fat and slowly losing muscle mass.
They key to losing your gut is eating under your daily calorie break even point. I repeat this over and over and most people ignore me but it is the ONLY determining factor to losing weight. Not carbs, not fat.
Some things that have helped me:
-drink more water, sometimes you think you are hungry when you are actually thirsty
-almonds, they are an appetite suppressor and I found eating 3-5 of these can keep off hunger for hours. Same with an apple or certain veggies.
-Its easier to hold off hunger in the morning then it is at night just because you are occupied and cant eat at work whenever you want. I have around a 250 calorie breakfast and a 500 calorie lunch. That leaves 1250+ cals to spread out between getting home and going to bed.
-Sprinting and stomach vacuums are the 2 "magical" ab exercises
