    I havent done any cycles, but i have read in a lot of forums that u should try running a cycle after your bf is below 12%....I dont wanna sound discouraging or anything i applaude the fact that you have a long term goal but one thing that worked really well 4 me was getting that long term goal translated into short term goaLS and thats very rewarding, motivation etc... As far as your routine...Im not sure if you are going to achieve those lifts with your current routine, maybe you want to try a power routine, but in that aspect i dont think i should critisize cause im doing your same numbers xcept i dont use the smith machine but i weigh 176......not impressive lifts but ill keep working on them

    jump to 4000 calories per day by making your meals a bit bigger.
    1/2 can of tuna and 2 pita bread i wont considerate a full meal.
    You can add in your diet some olive oil,honey,salmon[can],chicken breast as Ray said instead of chicken legs,cottage cheese [ dark meat is not the best choice in any diet specialy if now that you need protein]
    You should not have any problem riching your goal of gaining 18 pounds
