Trump Adding Muscle [Help Appreciated]

I recently started cycling [as in on a bike, not roids] a lot (past 3 months now) and I have dropped a lot of mass. I want to do a semi-clean bulk to add about 10 pounds of muscle. I hope some kind people can follow my progress and give me advice in this thread along the way. I haven't been lifting at all this summer. Started back up today.
Stats as of 9/19/06
22 yrs old, 5'9", 155 lb
Right bicep: 13.25"
Left bicep: 12.75"
Right forearm: 10.75"
Left forearm: 10.56"
Chest: 38"
Waist: 30"
Hips: 37"
Right thigh/quad/hammy: 22.75"
Left thigh/quad/hammy: 22.25"
Right calf: 15.25"
Left calf: 15.00"
As you can see, my legs kept their mass from cycling, but my upper body is suffering considerably. Especially my upper back.
Also, my posture has suffered, without effort/thought my head doesn't sit 'back' or in line with my body it sits forward a bit and it's annoying. Is this due to poor back development?

Please excuse / correct my lack of proper vocabulary while describing my excercises. I'll relearn...
Workout today:
Chest
3 x 15 x #8 on Nautilis (didn't feel ready for the bench yet)
2 x 15 x 35lb
Triceps
3 x 15 x #7 on cable pulldown (is that what it's called?)
2 x 10 x 40lb overhead pushup with dumbell
Biceps (yea not a proper split but I felt like doing them today)
3 x 10 x 30lb
Abs
100 crunches while doing stomach vacuum technique
25 hanging 'knee-ups'
25 reverse incline knee-ups
Now, my post workout meal was 12oz of water and a scoop of AllTheWhey. I drank it approximately 15 minutes after the workout- is this proper technique? Should I wait longer, and should I add anything else to my post workout meal?
Also, I am lactose intolerant and AllTheWhey kinda gets to me. Is there a non-lactose or Vegan solution to whey protein, like soy protein? Would that work?
Thanks.
