| It's not so much about how "healthy" you eat. You can eat very unhealthy and still lose weight and fat. It's not about how "healthy" you eat, but rather how much of it you are eating. My guess is that you are either not giving yourself enough time, or eating too much or too little, or exercising too little or too much.
On your original post, the only hard exercise I see is the squat. Other than that, your exercise is very much pointed toward the arms which will do nothing. You need to start either running, swimming, bike riding, rowing, or something along those line.
You also need to become more active. The gym isn't the only place you need to do exercise. If you just go to the gym and exercise, and for the rest of the day, you sit around and do nothing, it's pretty much going there for nothing. Make an effort to increase your activity. I'm not talking about forced labor. Just do more things... such as fold clothes, hang clothes outside instead of the dryer, use the stairs some of the times, park farther out, etc, etc, etc. Just doing a little bit here and there can really add up. You don't have to be sweating or exhausted.
As for your diet, it seems mostly carb based. You need to mix it up. Protein, carbs, and fat needs to go together. Basically, find a balance. Remember, you don't have to eat 100% healthy to lose weight and get the body you want. You just have to mix it up. If you go outside to a restaurant, you'll see that mostly the larger group of people eats things like salad and that, then the fit people are eating tons of "bad" food. The point is, the more effort you make to eat "only" healthy food, the more likely you will remain where you are. Just mix it up, and make an effort to eat less while still feeling full and enjoying the food you like to eat. You don't have to count calories or any garbage like that. Just use common sense, apes been doing it for millions of years. Remember, eat constantly, and make an effort to eat lesser. Basically, eat throughout the day, drink plenty of water, and you'll be fine.
For example, this week I'm at 176. I'm actually losing weight which isn't a good thing. I suspect it is a bit of water so my plan is to try and retain a little water and add a bit of weight. So this week my effort is to eat a bit more than usual to get back up to 180 by the following week. I'm not going to do it by eating salad and wraps all day. I plan to do a one mile swim tonight then go with a larger meal throughout the day.
