Little background, I'm 34 years old Male, I started working out about a year ago. I am 5'10, weighed about 185 back then, I have been pretty good about going to the gym 5-6x per week only missing a week or two here and there during vacation. Now I am about 210, however I am alot stronger/bigger and don't have as much fat. Just recently I started increasing the cardio. Here is my routine takes about an hour a day.

My goal now is to just get more toned without loosing the muscle mass I gained over the past year.

I don't eat fast food, generally bagel or cereal in the morning, Fruit at lunch, dinner usually cook, however I eat a lot of bread/pasta carbs so I am not sure if this is helping or hurting. Have 2 or 3 beers or wine a week.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Bread and pasta are okay, thatis as long as you don't exceed the number of calories that you're going for. They are fairly high in calories so be careful. But I'd suggest not to go crazy on your carbohydrate intake, don't eat too much carbs. Eat more protein!!!!
Where is the PROTEIN?! You gotta eat plenty of protein, around 210 grams of protein per day for you. It's maybe the most important thing. You cannot build muscle without protein, it's as simple as that. Add some lean chicken breast/turkey breasts, low fat cottage cheese, egg whites to your diet. If you're finding it hard to get enough protein, get a protein powder.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
 
The carbohydrate intake hurts if you are trying to lose fat. Very hard to lose fat with your insulin levels out of control. Try to reduce your grain and bread intake to morning and before workouts, then only fruits later on in the day. It will make losing weight much easier, and your insulin levels will come under control better helping you to oxidate fat.
