The part in bold is the only thing I haven't really seen addressed in the replies. 148lbs seems kind of low to me on a 5'6" frame for a guy. He may be better served trying to pack on some muscle rather then lose more fat. If he continues to lose bodyfat but doesn't really add any muscle then he could end up skinny but with no real muscle or definition.
