I posted somewhere but i can't find where i have posted:(

For the past few months, I been going to the gym 5x times a week and been eating 6 meals a day(farely clean meals). I am trying to lose weight but I have gained about 4lbs in a month. I know it is muscle mass thatv i have gained, but i am trying to lose weight. I know it is all about body fat% but I am only 5'8 and weighing 194lbs. My waist size is 32-34 depending on the brand. But my goal is to reach 175lbs.
With my height and my body size, i just look so damn short and therefore I want to shed lbs like crazy and look lean not bulky.

My workout routine(being working out for a year and I started to eat 6 small meals for the past 2 weeks)


Mon- cardio 30 minutes in the morning
weight training for about 45-1hour
Tues- Weight training 45-1hour and cardio after for
about 20 minutes.
Wed - HIIT in the morning and weight training in the
evening
Thurs- REST maybe light cardio for 30 minutes depending
how much energy I have.
Fri - cardio in the morning and weight training at night
Sat - Weight training and cardio after
Sun- Rest

Food ( it is not 100% consistant especially during this time but it looks like this on most days)

Breakfast - oatmeal, one toast, and apple
Snak - non-fat yogurt, and fruit
Lunch - rice, and side dishes(mostly veggies)
Snack - protein shake with skim milk
Snack - protein shake with skim milk
Dinner - rice and lean meat and veggies
Snack - Veggies


*On my weight training, I do heavy weights with low reps.

is there anything wrong with my routine or diet?
If i keep this up, will I be adding more muscle mass?
what can I do to shed pounds and keep my mucle mass?


YOur response will be much appreciated. Thank You

PS- Last year I weighed 230lbs and went on diet, I did reach 178lbs but now I am back to 194lbs.

Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder where have I gone wrong? Then I hear a voice say this is gonna take longer than one night.
