I wouldn’t call your diet low carb. And I think that the Velocity Diet should be an all-or-nothing thing.
I would eliminate milk.
I would eliminate most of the shakes and all the bars.
If you do use shakes, add FiberSure and eat a bunch sort of real food at the same time, like celery.
For some reason, oatmeal doesn’t work well for me when dieting.
I have a rule that any carb sources, other than workout nutrition, should naturally be about 15% fiber. This eliminates all kinds of “bad carbs.” For example, no noodles, chocolate chip cookies, or fortune cookies!
Two days of higher carbs may set you back unless you are really active during those days.
I would also add fish oil. I feel it makes more and more of a difference the older I get.
You may want to introduce some HIIT sessions.
And congratulations on what you have achieved so far!
weekend was good nutrition even though we ate out at 3 different restaurants during the weekend. I walked 3 miles each day and did not weight lifting. I did enjoy 2 Sazerac’s which is a famous rye whiskey drink here in New Orleans.

Looks to me like a mirror muscles workout and nutrition mainly consists of supplements. Try eating whole foods as already suggested. Also use compound moves like:
Bench Press Variations
Bent Over Rows
Military Press
Pull ups
Squat Variations
Deadlift Variations
Start with these then start to add isolation exercises to cover your weakpoints.
