My advice would be to get a trainer or workout partner who has cycled before. My gut feeling is telling me based on your stats you have probably never / maybe one time in your life done any of the steak and potatoes lifts.. squats.. deadlifts.. etc. Perfect the diet. Perfect the lifts. Figure out what you have to do to not get hurt (stretching, pyramiding up in weight for certain lifts) then do what you feel you need to. I don't mean to bust your balls; I have been where you are. My guess is your leg days are crap, your shoulder days are like pissing in the wind, but you love chest / triceps / biceps/ some vanity back work like most early bodybuilders and i'm speaking from experience.
COMPOUND LIFTS!!!!!
Spend 3-6 months getting your strength up with low reps. Focus on STRENGTH
If you like systems check out one of the many 5x5 programs such as madcow or stronglifts. They tend to work well for beginners
And blast the shit out of your fvking legs. Deadlift and squats are your friends
Then when you have some strength, up the reps and start shaping your body. Throw in some high rep isolation movements to shape,pump,circulate
Don't try to shape before you're strong enough.
Lose weight by not eating processed food. If it comes sealed in a pack with a brand on it,then skip it.
