Just a couple questions first.  How are you breaking up your routine now?  Do you combine chest with shoulders or back?  Also, what is the training breakdown?  Are you using just machines, just free weights, or some sort of combination of the two?  Finally, what is your diet like?  You can cut down on BF% just by adjusting your diet without altering your training regime.

That seems pretty good, but you may want to make sure you are eating smaller meals every 2 hours if you can.  It will speed up your metabolism and help you burn that fat. If you are concerned with your progress, keep a log to monitor your weight and BF%.  If you notice you are losing a lot of weight and your BF% isn't dropping more than 1%, then most of the weight you are losing is muscle.  If your BF% drops and your weight is dropping slowly, then you are doing well.
