Which book or text could i use as a suitable reference for getting shredded, not just exercises but nutrition as well?
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
I found these most helpful:
Exercises from the first, nutrition from the second.

"Bigger Leaner Stronger"
Best all around no nonsense all inclusive book I've found. No BS. Not too long. Covers diet, exercise, supplements. All science backed. Nothing fancy. All you need.

Barbell Medicine and Stronger by Science are both groups that have information guided by science (they're doctors).
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Nothing written by an admitted steroid abuser is credible unless you’re willing to go down that path.
I recommend starting strength by Mark Rippletoe

I was looking at the description of this book on Amazon. There were some notes on different factors that lowered testosterone. One of them was moderate consumption of alcohol.
I had heard that before. But I had recently watched Stone Cold Steve Austin interviewing the Undertaker (pro wrestlers, for those who don't know). During the interview, Austin brings out a bottle of Jack Daniels, and they do shots while they're reminiscing. I was thinking about alcohol lowering testosterone levels, but I don't think there are a lot of men more manly than these two guys, and they clearly like to drink. I was wondering how that works.

It works because of anabolic steroids.
