Just been eating lots of protein and carbs, and trying to space out my meals so I can get 6 per day.
Also started using creatine a week or 2 ago, and I am already starting to see it help my progress.
Weighing around 68kg at the moment, hoping to hit 70 in a couple of weeks.

Just be aware that creatine forces water into the muscle which will nett you a 2kg weight increase in the first couple of weeks so don't get too excited.
Stick to eating heaps and keep the weight training going with minimal cardio.
Make sure you don't overtrain eg, make sure you've got a minimum 4 -5 days between training the same muscle groups.
8/10 people actually do too much.
Dont be scared to chuck on a little fat as in your position it'll be easy to strip off come next summer.
