Cardio and low calorie diets alone will just make you into a smaller version of yourself. If you want to have a hot beach body, you need to lower your bodyfat while building more muscle.
P90X should do this for you.
Also make sure that you cut down on carbs and increase protein intake.
A good rule of thumb is 1g protein for every pound of bodyweight.
This means I need 195g a day! That is a whole heck of a lot and I don't get that much but it is the goal.
You know that's not always the best advice.

Too much protein can harm your body - on MedicineNet.com
I think we can all find enough protein in our diets to reach reasonable levels, they recommend about 0.37g per pound of body weight. I'd take 1g as an absolute highest amount, really for serious bodybuilders, not average people
