Again I am no expert but curling dumbbells every night would arguably result in destroying more muscle tissue rather than growing it. I'd get a preacher curl bar if I were you and do some barbell curls, maybe once a week (few sets of 6-8 reps). The rest of the stuff you can learn about in here (as I am doing). Also don't neglect the tricep. I tend to superset triceps with biceps (tricep curls mixed with preacher curls for example, no rest) which gives a good pump although my arms do need more work. But I assume you don't have access to a curl/pulley machine if you are at home.

Other than that, sort your diet out. Eat more calories (in the right ratios), eat regularly and get enough protein and you should grow.

EIT: just seen the split of food you are trying to eat. 280g protein seems a ridiculous amount to me unless you are pretty heavy. I think that is overkill unless you are on (a steroid) cycle?
