Listen to kotmj.

Also, you say you want to sustain strength, but you're working in mostly in sets of 10?

The problem with most people these days (this isn't a personal dig at you) is that they don't have a clear goal:

I want to bulk up
- Drink some water then, you'll put on weight

I want to gain strength
- Add a small little plate on the bar, there you go

I want to lose some weight
- Wear 10 layers of winter jacket and go for a jog

See what I mean? Compared to someone who says:

I want to put on 5kg of muscle within 8 weeks.
I want to be able to squat 1.5x bodyweight by end of this year.
I want to reduce my bodyfat so that I can see my clearly defined abs in 3 months time.

You need to set a goal that is both CLEAR and HAS A TIMEFRAME. Then and only then can you and others help yourself better.
