It doesn't look like you have too far to go, but I also know that when you're down that far, the body gets awfully stubborn about holding on to fat.
Concentration curls? Really? Also, why such high reps? Sticking to compound exercises at heavier weights would burn more energy, be better for function and posture, and be more likely to result in you having more shape when you reach your goal.
I'd keep the squats and shoulder press, replace concentration curls and pullovers with barbell rows or pull ups, and keep the combination ab/pullover...preferably, I'd do leg cycles with the pullover rather than crunches, extending the legs as you lower the weight and bringing the legs into flexion as you bring the weight up overhead, which causes the abs to draw into the centre of the muscle from both ends simultaneously.
I dont have any heavier weights, or any proper weights atm, or have anything to do barbell rows or pull ups with atm either.
The leg cycle thing sounds interestings, like doing what i was doing, but half in reverse i think lol. I will look into that.
Thanks

Ah yes, I know what it's like to not have access to the heavier stuff. Have you considered doing your resistance training in either circuit or Tabata style? I find Tabata's especially a good way to fatigue yourself while using light weights. Back when I first learnt the Tabata method in PT class, my lecturer was filming highlights of the class, and got a wonderful shot of me squeezing out a bench press. The strain on my face was priceless on that last rep of that last set - you could really tell I was giving it my all to really lift those 4kg dumbells.
