I will let the others chime in as they are much better at this then me, but some things I see right off the bat:
1. What is your TDEE? We first need to determine how many cals you need a day and build your diet to those specs. No offense, but it sounds like you are carrying a bit of body fat. A lean bulk is needed here as you don't want to gain additional fat. I would also be adding in cardio first thing in the morning to help cut that down.
2. Way too many shakes. Lots of people run into this, I know I did, but you will need to replace the majority of the shakes with whole foods.
3. You want a solid amount of protein in every meal. Looks like you are getting most of your protein in Meal 1 from the milk. I would add in 6 egg whites and 2 whole eggs. Might also want to cut out the milk depending on your needed cals after you determine your TDEE.
4. Grilled chix and brown rice is a good meal. Would also like to see your meal timing and workout times. You need to eat every 2.5-3hours. We also want to make sure you are getting a good pre work out meal as well with proper timing.
5. I see you adding cottage cheese in meal 5....if you are going to do cottage cheese use it as your protein source for your last meal of the day. Use a non or low fat (1%). Cottage cheese contains casein protein which is slow digesting and your body will need it when it's trying to eat your muscles for the eight hours you are sleeping.
Best of luck with your bulk.

Eat some real food. Way too many shakes...and bad concoctions at that. Oatmeal and just milk for meal 1? You should really invest some time here in the diet section doing more reading then asking. Try and make up a good base diet and let some vets here critique it and optimize it. Good luck.

What the others have said. Drop the milk and shakes and start eating real food. I don't have time to go through the diet in detail right now but it looks like the guys already have you covered.

Bodyfat may not be as high as you think based on that fact that you are holding most of it in your mid-section as you mentioned. Having said that, i would not be doing anything close to bulking, lean or otherwise. You need to get that bodyfat down.
I actually believe you should get REALLY lean (10% or lower) due to the fact that you don't have much LBM to worry about losing in the first place. Don't take that the wrong way; it's a great opportunity to get lean without the aggravation of LBM loss, and then you will be nice and primed for a true lean bulk. That's the way i'd go for sure.

Thank you very much for the advice, I had a feeling that i gained a bit of weight, not the right one. But I am going through good learning curve on learning on how dieting works. I used to workout hard but since my diet is no good so the pump was only in the gym. Never really grew except maybe just got a bit fat.
The reason i didnt want to start loosing fat straight away was because last September i had GYNO operation and only started training properly in the last 3 months. (not due to steroids )
I am gonna lean up for summer then do a proper controlled diet during winter around sept till january or something like that.
