Time for a review of training and nutrition

My weight has remained steady at 89 kilograms. But I really want to drop 4 more kilograms to see if I can break into 36" waist (92cm). Maybe visible abs might be a stretch but flatter and tighter gut is a goal.
I need to research a bit more to find recipes and foods that I can consume that won't obstruct my path. Again, I'm not looking at a bodybuilding contest prep nutritional plan as whatever I choose needs to fit my lifestyle, personality and be sustainable into the future.
That's me 2 weeks ago at a friends 50th birthday party.  I have also attached one of me taken December 2010, just as a comparison.
From a training perspective, my jogging has taken a set-back due to an Achilles tendon injury, not too serious but requires me to stop running for a few weeks. So I'll go to a 4 day gym program and use the cross trainer/stationary cycle machines to simulate the cardio caloric expenditure I was getting from running.

I'll get the gym owner (Sasho Ognenovski) to weigh, measure and body fat test me so I have a starting point (and also see where I've moved from the end of the 6 week body transformation program I did at the back end of 2013).
