First thing is to make sure youre getting enough protein, if you are dieting to lose fat but keep muscle and get harder and its low carb, you should be getting something in the neighborhood of 1.25 grams of protein per pound body weight, and .75 grams of carbs or under. It didnt look like you were getting enough protein in there for your size. Other than that, hit the cardio first thing in the morning on empty stomach for a good 40 minutes maybe 5 days per week and lift 4 days per week. good supplements to take would be as listed:

R-ALA : taken before carb meals
CLA : taken at equal doses 3 times per day
ECA Stack : before meals or before activity or both
L-Carn : before activity and with ECA

Theres a lot of different ways to do this, you should also run a search and see what you get, i know theres some good posts out there that directly talk about this. Good luck

I think your best bet would be to do a good cutting phase, your body fat % is way up there. Cut it in half, then start looking into building muscle first.

Adding Flax/Fish oil will help you lean out. Also look into HIIT training. You are making a solid effort so far, nice job.
Personally, I dont think CLA or ECA will help you much. I solid routine and diet will make or break you.

Update

Thnx for advice, over last 8 days upped my protien intake 100 gm, and started a ECA stack (can't really tell i take it). along with Yohimbine HCl ( think i can feel it)

Down to 20ish BF now , and gained 1 inch in forearms and 1.5 in arms.

Figure i should be set in another 6 months or so.

I think that you should be congratulated!

Nice work so far bro!
It's decisions like this that change people's lives for the better. You're already on the right path with what you've been doing. Good diet + Hard work in the gym = 99% of the battle...supplements make up the last percent.

Keep up the great work!

i think youre lifting routine is poor.

try doing more compound exercises:

bench
squats
deadlifts
should press
t-bar rows
curls
tricep pull downs

do three sets of each of them (pretty heavy) and you should see way better results...

I also agree with the idea that you should do HIIT (High Intensity Training).

Make sure your cals per day are under 2700.
