Your diet is looking pretty good. It might be adventageous to add a small amount of carbs with your boiled eggs early in the day. Eating carbs early will give you needed energy and will help with utilizing the protein intake. Oatmeal is an excellent fat burning enrgy source.
Cinimon is also excellent for fat loss. It has powerful antioxidens and steadies/slows insulin spikes.
I do usually cut and bulk in cycles. Unfortunately, in order to buld muscle you need a caloric surpplus but along with it usually comes fat retention. By cutting and bulking the idea is to bulk for muscle gain and then to cut for fat loss while trying to retain the muscle you've gained but again cutting usually results in some muscle loss so diet is very important so that you avoid extreme fat gain and muscle loss. During bulking cycles usually I increase certain carbs for energy and productive lifts and maintain high levels of protein intake, during cutting cycles protein intake is always maintained to avoid muscle loss but carbs are somewhat restricted. Also unfortunate at my age fat retention is much easier than muscle gainning.
