Less weight more reps = toning and definition
More weight less reps = bulking up
If you drink atleast one protein shake a day, preferably one immediately after your workout that helps too.
In all honesty, I would try to stay away from taking too much, just due to the fact that you are younger and have youth on your side. You don't want your body to become dependent on the extra protein because later in life when you stop the excess protein intake your body will "crash"

Use weights to build muscle and use aerobics to lose fat, and then they will work together to make you muscular and defined.
Don't waste too many workouts on high rep weight training, it builds very little muscle, use diet and cardio for for fat loss and definition.
Weight training, (low reps) builds muscle tissue, which will increase your overall calorie burning. (metabolism).
Do alot more exercises in your routine, stick to "Compound movements" to build the most muscle.
Squats and deadlifts, work very large muscles and will give you a testoserone and growth hormone boost, which increase overall muscularity and fat loss, work your lats and traps to, also big muscle groups.
Try, 9-12 reps for 3 weeks, 6-9 reps for 3 weeks and 3-6 reps for 3 weeks, and then repeat this cycle.
As far as supplements, all you need is some cheap "Whey protein" and "Creatine". Use the "Dymatize" brand it is cheap and just as effective.

Less weight. Aerobics defines. The other way around builds mass.

If you are looking for definition, low weight, high reps is the way to go.

Do less reps with more weight.
