where am i going wrong?

hi guys im lee, im 26 and weight 12 stone 2lbs. ive spent 4 months lifting weights and to be honest im weak as f**k.
Ive completely changed the way I eat, given up my much loved weed habit, seriously cut down on smoking and im working out 3 times a week.

My diet consists of:
Protein shake, banana, olive oil and 100g oats
200g chicken, 250g cooked wholemeal rice
1 tin of tuna with 4 slices of wholemeal bread
200g chicken, 250g cooked wholemeal rice
1 tin of tuna, wholemeal pasta, tinned chopped tomatoes
4 slices wholemeal toasted bread, lean back bacon and pinapple
protein shake, banana, olive oil and 100g oats

im only doing a basic compound routine which is:
tues:
Deadlifts 94lbs 5x5
chins 5x5 (although i fail after 3-4 reps)
rows 50lbs 5x5

thur:
calf raises 84 lbs 5x5
stiff leg deadlifts 89 lbs 5x5
squats 84 lbs 5x5

sat:
bench press 94 lbs 5x5
incline bench press 74 lbs 5x5
close grip bench press 64 lbs 5x5
overhead press 62lbs 5x5

sun:
is cheat day (mmmmm)

All the above weights are as heavy as I feel i can go while taking form into account.

Overall i think its a pretty good base to start from and ive been following it for 6 weeks now and ive gained 1 pound. I have however lost quite a lot of excess body fat. starting to worry that a) im not gonna put any weight on and b) once the remaining fat is gone my body will start to eat away at my muscles (what little I have).

Any ideas?
Please feel free to comment or suggest as im really started to get frustrated.
many thanks guys.
