Do combinations of exercises, using free weights and machines. When using free weights, alternate between dumbbells and barbells. Make sure you workout every muscle group, as a lot of people avoid legs. Compound exercises are the best for mass, increasing testosterone, and overall power, such as: bench press, squat, deadlift, military press, etc.
After you lift weights, do 15-30 minutes of cardio to get the heart rate up and it's extra effective after lifting because your glycogen levels are depleted. Cardio in the morning on an empty stomach is also good to burn fat.
As far as foods, veggies, fruit, whole grains, protein sources such as: tuna, chicken, turkey, steak, etc. Avoid refined carbohydrates.
it is quite difficult to build muscle and burn fat at the same time. Building up and breaking down are two opposing processes. I suggest you lose fat first, and then tone up after. Check out www.t-nation.com for great articles and discussion group about losing fat and building muscle.
A low carb high protein lifestyle change will help to lose the fat and load bearing exercise will build muscle.
