I've been training for a couple of years and at the start of the year decided to bulk up and put on 6kg (13lbs) in 6 weeks. I would like to either stay my current weight or add more, but am currently training for a Muay Thai fight and thought with all the cardio I'm doing I should do a small cut or at least try and lose my body fat. (have started losing weight very slowly)

176 lbs (80kg)
Bodyfat - unknown
The hours I work are a bit funny (12pm to 9pm, then do weights and cardio when I get home, I know not good to do together) I have pretty good size but a lot of body fat. AFAIK my diet isn't THAT high in carbs and I don't have much fats. Here is my current diet. Please let me know if I should make any changes.
Meal 1 - 10:00 AM
8 weet-bix
low fat milk
low fat yogurt
Meal 2 - 11:15 AM
3 whole eggs, scrambled
2 pieces wholemeal toast
Meal 3 - 2:30 PM (at work)
small bag chips
1 nut bar
2 sandwiches (4 pieces wholemeal bread), cottage cheese, ham, coleslaw
Meal 4 - 6:00 PM (at work)
1 muesli bar
2 sandwiches (4 pieces wholemeal bread), cottage cheese, ham, coleslaw
can of creamed rice
Meal 5 - 9:00 PM - (Home) (Pre-workout meal)
Small leftover meal from dinner at home, meat, potatoes, veges
Meal 6 - 10:00 PM - Post-Workout meal
HALF Protein shake - 3 scoops whey protein, banana, oats, milk, 1 whole egg
Meal 7 - 11:00 PM - Post-Cardio meal (meal before bed, sleep about 9 - 10 hours)
OTHER HALF Protein shake
4 pieces white toast (jam, peanut butter, vegemite)
And around 2 litres+ of water a day. Multi vitamin in the morning and creatine at night.
Anyway, where can I improve my diet to maintain or increase my weight, while adding muscle (size) but decreasing body fat (lean)?
Thanks.
