Strength Training And Weight Loss

Weight Loss+Strength Training: Pls help, tell me if I'm doing this Right?

I'm 23 yrs, 5'5, 135lbs and my body fat is 28%...I'm trying to drop the last 10-15lbs and get to 22% body fat, so I'm eating at 1250-1300kcal a day, i eat 5 meals a day and make sure i take in enough veges and protein (i eat moderate protein, moderate carb and low fat)...i jog 30mins every morning, and do Strength Training Exercises in the evening.

Here's my stregth training routine (i use 2lbs dumbells):

Day 1: straight leg dead lift, lunges, step ups, bent over row, bench press, tricep extension, bicep curl, push ups (3 sets of 10 reps for each Exercise).
Day 2: sit ups, leg raises, knees to elbows, elbows to knees (all ab exercises, 3 sets of 30 for each because i have pretty strong abs)
Day 3: same as Day 1
Day 4: same as Day 2
Day 5: Same as Day 1
Day 6: Same as Day 2
Day 7: off day

Am I doing too much? If my goal is fat loss do I still have to change up my routine and go heavier every month?

i think that eventually your body will tell you if you're doing too much. but it looks like a good Workout. you might consider the heavier Weights, keep in mind that the more muscle you build the more fat you will burn. you also might consider choosing a second Cardio Exercise to alternate with jogging to give your body a cross traning effect and use your muscles in a different way. but overall it looks like you did the right research and came up with a sensible plan. use the same sense to cut back a little if you feel its too much.
