Now i dont lift weights as often as you Mark, but i think the cardio would help burn any fat that is hiding your 6-pack (just like mine is doing now, although they never have ever actually seen the light of day). Your metabolism is probably up from the lifting but you need some really blood pumping cardio to push you over that edge. I find that i have to eat something, but i find what i have is more than enough so that i am now trying to cut back. Do i take it with that many days lifting you are alternating one day upper body, one day lower etc? Are you also lifting a lot and small number of reps or light and loads of reps. It doesnt sound like you want to being doing the first as you dont want to bulk up, but you do want to build strength and probably not stamina (many reps, light weight), so i would think the typical 10-12 reps of a weight you can just about lift for 12 reps would be ideal to continue to increase your strength.
As for the drinks or meal replacements, i really dont know. My housemate uses that bulk stuff etc, he also has all day to work out when he isnt on shift! I have occasionally gone to tropical smoothie or the like when needing a meal replacement, for crushed ice and flavouring they are quite nice!
