Is this diet sustainable/advisable?

I got a body scan at the university as part of a study they are doing, so these are my stats:

Age: 34
5'9
Weight: 196 lbs
Bodyfat: 25.7%
Lean muscle mass: 140 lbs (Is this decent or skinny-ass manlet territory?)
Fat free mass: 146 lbs

Lifting experience: I've spent about 5 months in the gym messing around before I developed a bad shoulder impingement that took about 6 months to get better. I'm ready to get back in the horse and really commit. I'd consider myself in the kinda novice category still.

Here is the diet I've been following the past week (I'm trying to transitionto a vegetarian diet over the next couple of months, hence the tuna being the only meat):

Breakfast:
2 x Protein Isolate with 250ml milk
1 x Tuna
1 x Banana
1 x Pronutro (It's a type of fortified cereal)
1 x Cup of Brocolli
1 x 5g creatine

Lunch:
3 x servings of Oatmeal
2 x Banana
1 x Protein Isolate with water
1 x serving of mixed veggies

Calories: 1850
Protein : 135g
Carbs: 240g
Fat : 52g

I'm doing a pretty standard 16/8 intermittent fasting protocol because it's very convenient for me to eat this way. I'm obviously trying to cut my bodyfat to the 13-15% range before I'll even think about bulking. So I'm looking at a 25'ish pound weight loss goal here.

Workout programme:
3 x 30 min moderately intensive cardio
2 x HIIT (Mostly assault bike)
5 x week moderate weight lifting, including lots of body weight exercises. I'm still trying to take it easy since my shoulder is a concern and I'm scared of injuries setting me back again.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
