Short on time but I will get to this when I return from training.

Here is what I notice...

Diet: I would being you are throwing resistance training not hit 1200 calories. Your BMR is around 1400. I would bounce between 1350-1650. Days you do training eat more, days you rest eat less. Basically eat for energy expenditure.
Every meal should have a complete protein source. Focus on good fats, lean proteins and complex/fibrous carbs.

Training:Throw in a HIIT session in place of a steady state session. 3 days a week cardio is plenty. So just look into mixing up your types of cardio. Progress as your fitness level progresses. Since you talked to Steve about the weight training I will live it at that, he certainly has that area covered.

Basically you are one the right track. Just make sure you know the exact calories that are going into your body, focus on proper nutrition and don't eat to under to often, this will keep a plateau and funky hormones at bay.

I have no doubts you will achieve your goals.
