Opinion or suggestions on my cutting diet, please. also included picture

first heres my stats: im 5'6-5'7, 19 years old, 143-145lbs, bodyfat is at 12-13%, you can see my top 4 abs a little bit in the light, ive been lifting for about 1 year now, but i never ate right, i started eating right on may 1st. i eat about 6-7 meals per day, and weight lift 5 days a week (back day, arms day, chest, back, legs, and abs every other day) i also started doing cardio on may 1st, first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. i run on the treadmill for 25 minutes of interval training(sprint for 30 seconds, walk for 1 minute, sprint for 30 seconds, walk for a minute, etc). i weighed in at 148 on april 23rd, so im losing weight but i just want to make sure im on the right track so i dont lose too much muscle.

so here's my diet(no cheat days, very strict 7 days a week)

right after cardio,

breakfast: 1 cup cooked oatmeal (mcann's irish cut) with some ground cinnamon for flavor(no sugar), and 8 egg whites/1 yolk.

2-3 hours later ill have a protein shake: 120 calories, 24 grams of protein, and 3 grams of carbs, mixed with water, and ill throw in 1 teaspoon of peanut butter.sometimes i use 1 and a half servings of shake making it 180 calories, 36 grams of protein, and 4.5 grams of carbs.

workout half an hour after shake

lunch(post-workout): 1 piece of tyson's boneless skinless chicken breast on the frying pan(no oil, just a spray of PAM), for the chicken, i squeeze in some lemon juice, black pepper, and minced garlic. or a can of albacore tuna and 1 slice of whole wheat bread.

2-3 hours later, i have another protein shake. 1 1/2 scoops of protein, 180 calories, 36 grams of protein, 4.5 grams of carbs

2-3 hours later: dinner: 1 piece of tysons chicken breast(same as lunch, which is about 4-6 oz) and some steamed broccoli or cauliflower,

sometimes ill grill some salmon fillet or flounder fillet with lemon juice and pepper only and ill eat that instead of chicken.

than 2-3 hours later, ill drink another shake: 1 scoop only (120 calories, 24 grams of protein, and 3 grams of carbs)

so ive been on this diet for approximately 2 and a half weeks. im seeing results but i just want to make sure im going in the right direction for that really ripped look this summer. any suggestions or opinions would be appreciated. and its about time i finally realized that diet is the key to getting ripped.

thanks guys

ive been told before that running on a completely empty stomach will burn muscle over fat.. so i try to have somthing light on my stomach like a banana and milk or somthing a bit before.. it looks like your taking in 3 shakes a day you might wanna try to cut that to 2 and sub in 1 more meal. try some ground turkey meat and just make a patty with it.. so you it breaks of the repetitiveness of all the same foods. other then that looks pretty good.

imo if i was where you were id wanna be like like 150-165 with all the same stats. if u threw on 10lbs of muscle your shorter frame youd look huge and still not over bulky.. but hey that might be a goal for the winter when you not running around shirtless all the time. just my opinion
