What sort of exercises do you most tend to do in your workouts? Also, what's your diet like and how much meat do you eat?

Well, protein is very for muscle growth. Lean meats are usually preferred because they are high in protein but low in fat. This resultantly means meats like bacon are out the window because they are particularly high in salt and fat.
If you want a worked out body then you need to work out regularly, but you also need to give yourself breaks (a couple of days) in between heavy sessions because if you don't then your muscles have no chance to recover or enlarge. People who do heavy work outs daily will undoubtedly struggle to see the results they want because they're actually hurting themselves more than they're helping themselves.
If you want a six pack then I think it's important to focus on abdominal exercises. If you went on YouTube I'm sure you would be able to find plenty of tutorials and guides as to which exercises work best and such. But yes, I would strongly recommend only doing 3 heavy workouts a week while eating plenty of the right things including proteins, vitamins and minerals. Carbohydrates are only recommended in small amounts, but can be helpful for providing a slower, more prolonged release of energy.
I hope none of that was too complicated. :P
I'm not saying you have to live by these suggestions like they're your Bible or anything, but they are good pointers for the sorts of things you should be trying to do where possible. There may even be some slight inaccuracies in what I've said, so don't think as of me as some kind of expert because I'm definitely not. :P
But I think lots of protein is particularly important for you as you've identified that you're skinny and protein is essential for growth. :)

Yep, depends on your diet, any kind of fatty or sugary foods should go out the window. I'm kind of skinny too. I've had a six pack since I was 11. Im trying to look like Jacob Black now and working out every muscle. My body is getting bigger everywhere, even my dick, it is hard to maintain a defined six pack. But I still have it, I reccomend; every day I do about 200 sit ups morning and 200 in the evening. Might I recommend when you go down, to hold your abs and go down slowly.
If all else fails, take steroids!

I've been working abs since I was 7 I'm 13 now and I still don't have a good set. But they are there. I really did t push myself but when I started it finally came. Push yourself to do 40 sit ups, 30 flutter kicks and 30 suitcases a day.
