    IMO, your using too many movements and too many days. If it were me, I would use

    Mon.

    Bench 5x5
    Military 5x5
    Dips or close grip bench 5x5
    These are all your push muscles.

    Wed.

    Squats 1x20 or 5x5
    Stiff leg deads 1x15 or 5x5
    or u can alternate the 2
    Lep press 1x20 or 5x5
    Rack deads 1x15 or 5x5
    Calfs 5x5 or 12 reps w/ 20 sec negative ( these work )
    this is it for leg day

    Fri.

    Wide grip pull ups or lat pull downs 5x5
    Bent over rows 5x5
    bicpes ( many exercises to choose ) 5x5

    That's it. 3 days a week and make sure to log all your weights and reps and try to increase either weights or reps each week. Increase the weights and you'll increase your size ONLY with proper form on your lifts. If say you bench 180 for 5 sets of 5 reps this week, you have gotten in all your reps. Next weeks try for 185 and stay at that weight until you have gotten all 5 sets of 5 reps.

    Also, you could up your protein intake to 300 g a day and also get in plenty of water. Hope this helps .

    What I would do and this is just my op and personal experience is to keep cardio intense and short on your off days and keep your protein high. HIIT cardio first thing in the morning or in afternoon on somewhat empty stomach.
