focus on putting some size on before the cruise. at 142lb that is really what you need to do! maybe spend the last week cutting hard, it should be all you need. eat clean, train weights hard, bit of cardio, and you'll kill it.

the more muscle you build, the more energy you will burn = better for fat loss.

Read the stickies in D&N. There is tons of great information on carb cycling. I not only lost weight last year, but I made muscle gains while losing weight. I will be carb cycling for the next 5 months, so if you have questions, ask in D&N.

Also, congrats on the weight loss and new healthier look.

Your not going to put on size in 45 days. You may slightly, but nothing drastic. Thats not saying dont start lifting weights now. But dont be fooled that you are going to get huge in 45 days.
