New to training

Hi, I'm Matt, I started training just before new years.
I looked at BMI information, which scared me - saying i was obese! so i decided to get my body fat checked (i know i was tubby, with a gut and a half, but could never really get motivated to shift it).
I was 33.5%fat, more than double what they said was healthy. i also weighed 15.5st. I'm 5'10".

My diet has changed a lot, no beer, no chocolate and basically trying to eat a much cleaner diet.
a typical day now is:
breakfast
1x wholegrain toast with marmite,
scrambled egg with 4/5egg whites

Lunch
Sweet potato jacket with lowfat cheese, tuna and tomatoes

snack
low fat muller yogurt

dinner
griddled chicken breast, salad, brown rice, sometimes broccoli too

I don't have anything pre or post workout, but have just ordered whey protein, which i plan to take after workout, between breakfast and lunch and one a while after dinner. Is this a good plan?

I started doing monday, tuesday thursday and friday:
20 mins on bikes, 20 mins weights (all over body), 20 mins bikes.


This week i'v changed my routine, I'm planning:
Monday: bike 10 mins
bench 3sets 6-8
military press 3 sets 6-8
dips
bike 10mins

tuesday:
running 20 mins,
abs
bike 20 mins

wednesday:
Squats 3 sets 6-8
straight leg deadlifts 3 sets 6-8
weighted lunges

thurs:
same as tuesday

Fri:
Bike 10 mins
Deadlifts 3sets 6-8
bent over rows 3sets 6-8
Lat pull-downs 3sets 6-8
Bike 10 Mins

I'v also been pushing the weights up so i can only just manage all the reps.


I'm i going to be overtraining? i want to get the bodyfat down to 10% or so. I realsise ii won't be growing a lot in terms of muscle yet. But when i reach 10% i'll start bulking.

So far in just over three weeks i'v lost 10lb and bodyfat is down to 28%.

Thanks!
any suggestions would be great,
Matt
