Depends on your goals. Dropping weight is going to be determined by diet mostly. You can continue your current routine and cut calories slightly, maybe throw in a few days of cardio. If you are going to diet and do this routine (which would be perfectly fine) simply lower the volume (drop a set or two on each exercise) and at least keep the same amount of weight on the bar. Further, the Starr/Pendlay program indicates that people have had success with it while cutting so also consider this as a viable option.
If PL is your thing, you know they are just "big fat freaks who dl, bench, and squat for low reps" so forget about dropping weight. Kidding aside, it really depends on your goals.
This is really the first time you've been able to consistently train and you still need to develop a solid base. You've got to be patient. There's no rush for you to start getting into pl'ing right now. You still need a lot of work on technique and practice with the exercises. Give yourself some time to develop into your own and just try to keep progressing on your individual goals.
It's always good to start a bulker while lean so things don't get out of hand. If I were you, and since I know you, I would think about trying to lean out a bit right now and focus on the proper technique and execution of the exercises. Given your relative newbie status, you could probably lose some fat and not lose much muscle and strength along the way.
