You need to post more than reps for it to be a routine.

A routine consists of:
a)exercises performed each workout
b)sets per exercise
c)reps per set

Please post those, or nobody can help you out. You could be doing dumbbell flyes for 1 set of 5 reps or you could be doign bench for 5 sets of 5 reps. In the case of the flyes, you're fucked, and in the case of bench, you're not looking to bad. See my point.

About your diet, just because you were heavier doesn't mean you eat less. It means you eat smarter. To build muscle you need protein, carbs and fat. I guarantee you aren't getting enough with the diet you posted, ballpark I'd say you're hitting about 125grams of protein if that. In your case, make sure your daily fat intake is low, keep your carbs in check but keep in mind you need them for energy among other things. Protein should be kept high regardless. 1-1.5grams per pound of lean body mass (ie your bdoyweight minus the weight that is fat). That being said, try and come up with a new diet, look at the "How to Bulk" Sticky and use fitday.com. Come up with a new diet that you can stick too and will provide an environment for muscle growth. Post it for another critique and provide daily calories and macro numbers (grams of protein, fat and carbs). And stay away from those tubesteaks (hotdogs)! I think you're on the right track, you just need more food.

Also look into pre/post workout nutrition. Stating that you have 1 shake after your workout isn't enough info. What's in the shake, how much protein, how long after the workout before you take it etc...For example: For pre/post I take one shake (30g Protein) right before I hit the weights, 1 (30 again) right after and 1 (30 again) 15-20 minutes after that one, for a total of 3 shakes within 2 hours.

At least post the routine part. You don't have to post the diet but I have a feeling others will share my opinion on it.

i do mix up proteins with tuna and salmon
What does that mean? Are you putting tuna and salmon in your protein shake or are you eating them as a source of protein?
