0.5 kgs in winter (2 months...), your definitely not eating enough mate
but i dont really want to CUT the weight, just want to burn some body fat for definition. You want to stay the same weight but burn body fat? Its near impossible to do that, it would be a simultaneous gain in muscle whilst cutting... The whole point of your bulk through winter (which should have netted you at least 10lbs of 'weight') is that you now cut off the fat you just put on..
Im still going to be lifting heavy and eating tonnes more protein then i am now, as that has been my downfall. how much protein per day?
So i guess its more of a diet question.
I know pasta and porridge are good but what else is good to help burn fat without loosing the actual muscle mass? Sorry, are you asking what carb sources help burn fat? None... cardio and a calorific deficit will help you lose fat. In terms of carb sources that are low GI and therefore cause less insulin sensitivity -> normally aimed for if trying to lose fat, then oats, brown rice, sweet potatoes are your main friends, brown bread, brown pasta not quite as good but still OK.

Comments in bold above
Given by your progress pics, I would strongly urge you to not do this cut, your already very lean, get eating like double what you have been on your 'bulk' and pack on the mass !! Then do this 'cut' once you have gained 10 - 20lbs hopefully in the next 3 - 4 months ready for the beach...
