Default Help Needed...

Ok, been at the gym for 4 weeks now and got my routine pretty sorted and am really enjoying the workouts and missed them when they were shut Xmas and New years day, but the problem i have at the moment is weight, im not losing, in fact, i am gaining...

I started off at 16stone 2 and am now 16stone 7

I fully understand that muscle will weigh a bit more but surely after starting to eat less, and eat better, coupled with the new excersize routines, i should e able to lose some of this fat?

Average daily food:
8am: 2 Weetabix (No sugar)
10am: A McVities GO bar
12:30: Jacket Spud with Tuna Mayo
3.00pm: Banana
6.00pm: GYM for 1hr
8.00pm: varies... Pork chop, chips and peas

And that is pretty much it, i dont snack anymore, drink many softdrinks and zero sweets and chocolates. I have cut out TONS of crap from my diet and seem to be getting nowhere.

Routine: Monday, Wednesday and Friday:

Pedal Bike.
10mins on level 5 at 80 - 90 rpm, heartrate around 150.

Rower:
1500meters at level 8.

Crunches.
40 3 sets

Leg Raises in between each crunch set:
10 held for 5 seconds. 3 sets

Pec Deck:
45kg x8 3 sets

Lat pulldowns seated:
55Kg x8 3 sets

Leg extension machine (up)
50kg x8 3 sets

Leg extension machine (down)
50kg x8 3 sets

Shoulder Press machine:
45kg x8 3 sets

Leg press. Horizontal:
60kg x8 3 sets

Tricep Pushdown:
60kg x8 3 sets

Tricep Curls:
50kg x8 3 sets

Dumbells:
Bicep curls, 2 sets of 8
Side extensions, 2 sets of 8

Any comments at all as to what i may be able to do to improve things here as im at a loss now.

I intend to go swimming Tue and Thursday nights now the Pool is open again, but i dont see how it is going to help a massive lot. Help...
