Ok, well based on the info you gave me, without knowing what brands of food and the exact nutritional info is for each, it sounds like you are taking in approximately 1600 calories a day. Your fat is around 55g a day. Your protein is around 253g a day. Your protein intake looks perfect around that number. I would up your total daily fats intake by at least 30g. add 1 tbspoon of extra virgin olive oil to each of your two protein shake meals. That will do it. That will put your total calories around 1870 roughly. Your maintenance calories are only around 2364. This is not factoring in your 5 day a week cardio activity level. So basically, you will be 500 cal under your daily requirements, so that should factor into 1lb a week weight loss. Now depending how hard you hit cardio, that will account for an additional lb weightloss if you can burn 700 calories each of those 5 days. That will put you on target for 2lb weightloss a week. I wouldn't lower your calorie intake anymore than that because we are trying to spare muscle too. If fatloss slows down after a while, the diet needs to be tweaked again, to accomodate your lower bodyweight and nutritional needs.
(The numbers I gave may vary slightly, depending on the exact nutritional contents in each of the foods you eat. Also, I did not know your height or age.)
