Replace one of those shakes with a meal. Too much of your protein is coming from shakes.

Work your legs to increase GH production. It will help you to increase size up top. Squats are a great total body exercise. They should be a part of your routine.

L-glutamine is a waste of money. Do a search on the site.

IMO you are doing too much cardio. Weight loss is a long-term lifestyle change if you want the weight to stay off.

You are also not getting enough macros to keep your metabolism up.
I read an article about fat loss and heres what they suggest:
They suggest 3 days of low carb, then 1 day of high carb, then repeat the cycle.

Low Carb Day
Eat five to six small meals, dividing your total intakes by the amount of meals you eat. Eat fibrous veggies with every meal. Eat starchy carbs (potatoes, brown rice, bread)in the first 3 meals and only protein and veggies in the last 2 or 3.
Protein: 1.7g x your weight
Carbs: 0.7g x your weight
Fats: 0.37g x your weight

High Carb Day

Same as above but eat starchy carbs and fibrous veggies with each meal.
Protein: 1g x your weight
Carbs: 2g x your weight
Fats: 0.3g x your weight

Not bad, but why would you lower the protein ?

Plus, I would go longer than 3 days before a carb up. I would go 6-7 days. Unless you want to do low carbs(75-100g)on non training days, med carb (200g)on training days and high carb every 7th day(300-350g).
