What are you measuring BF% with?

Are you doing it at the same time of day each week, under the same conditions (ie, every sunday morning, upon rising, on an emtpy stomach)?

Are you taking measurements? Are they going down?

You might try cutting out half of your carbs every other day or two days in a row. Just make sure that your calorie level does not dip too low. You can also increase your cardio to 45 min/session and maybe even do more sessions. I would also replace your grains with more fruits and vegtables. For starchy carbs I would use yams and sweet potatoes.

Your plateu might be that your calories have been too low for too long causing your body to enter into starvation mode. So you might try bumping up your calories to maintenance level (maybe even a slight surplus) for a week or two and then getting back to your cutting diet without such a severe deficit.

You can probably drop your caloric intake a bit, preferably from carbohydrates.

What is total caloric intake sitting at right now?

besides the milk and the jam it looks like a good diet. I stalled at one point a couple years ago, I cut out my milk intake replaced it with a cheap calcium supp and that worked for me. Are you doing 1-2 cheat meals per week? If not, this very well could be your problem. Change up some of you lifts as well.
