Lifting/working out

For all of you workout gurus...

Ive been slightly lifting (2-3 times per week) for the past month and a half. I take cytosport protein shakes in the morning and as soon as I am done lifting. I have noticed gains in upper body and arms but I want to get bigger. Im 160 pounds even, 5'8". I have somewhat of a gut but everything else isnt too fatty. I only drink water and alcohol occasionally (maybe 2-3 times a month when I hang out with friends). I do not eat fast food either. I want to get rid of the gut but also gain muscle mass. Is it possible to both at the same time? If not, should I do a lot of running/walking combined with lifting to burn my stomach fat first? I was told by a friend to lift and eat nothing but peanut butter sandwiches, tuna, chicken breast along with protein shakes daily for a whole month and that I will gain at least 2-3 lbs of muscle mass and start to look bigger. My goal is to be around 175/180 pounds and physically fit. I've been reading a lot online about diets etc. but I am not sure of the right direction to take.
