Try a low carb diet instead. Also don't try to lose so much so fast.

As Matt said, try reducing carb intake. Not trying to plug anything, but read

http://www.johnberardi.com/articles/nutrition/7habits.htm

and maybe work your way through a few other articles on the site. I lost bodyfat by increasing protein and (healthy) fats and cutting out most carbs besides vegetables/fruits and workout-period sugars while simultaneously increasing caloric intake.

And while I am pretty skinny, from my experience (having observed a couple of weightlifters and powerlifters doing this), lowering carb intake and increasing protein and fat intake works even better for strength athletes in higher weightclasses that are interested in reducing bodyfat.
