Also, daily cardio to maximise fat burn
 
I don't like your routine for weight loss. For weight loss, you want to challenge the entire body and increase metabolism for hours afterward through compound movements, not isolated exercises that don't do much like bicep curls, calf lifts, and tricep stuff. If you do the bench press hard enough, you wouldn't be able to do any tricep work anyway.

Think about this every 2nd or 3rd day:

Bench press: 3x10 reps. The last rep should be difficult. Chest and triceps.
Lunges or squats. Legs.
Negative chinups or lat pulldowns. Alternate supine and prone. Biceps, back, lats.
Deadlift
Seated rows or bent over rows: 3x10

You can and should do ab work and cardio everyday.

Do this and cut back on your calorie intake and you will become toned and lean over time.
