Legs ... back ??

So you wanna get a little bigger upstairs ?? Personally, I would like to get a little bigger downstairs, but we won't go there. Seriously though, in your workouts you only seem to be working your chest, arms and abs. Is there any reason you are not doing any leg or back work ? Doing squats will add overall size to your body. Add some chins or pullups to your workout, not only will they add size to your back, they'll also add some meat to your biceps. You didn't mention exactly what exercises you are doing, but you should focus on compound exercises, e.g., Rows, dips. presses. squats, deads, chins, etc. exercises that work more than one muscle group. Your diet doesn't seem to bad. Anyway that is my two cents, I am sure others on this forum will add their thoughts. Best of luck reaching your goals, keep us updated.
