The issue of accuracy with logging has been fully addressed I'd say.

As you have lost a lot of weight you may have a slightly lower metabolic rate so even with the not 100% accurate logging your intake may be lower than what calculators say you should be eating to maintain.

The big issue I see if no mention of any resistance training. You are a t a very healthy weight for your height already. I'd drop (or reduce) cardio and replace with resistance training. The cal burn is less (which is a good thing for you) and the benefits are obvious.

Well..I was going to do Cardio 90minutes a day. (Gym 45minutes a day before and after work) to drop the body fat but also start doing a Arm-Chest-Shoulder split with Abs every two days to tone up. However only a couple of exercises per muscle group as I dont think I eat enough to gain any muscle mass (except noob gains) and my main focus is fat loss until I am around 12st at 5ft 9. Is that a good idea? :L

I would look for a program that does full body exercises which is way better than isolation exercises. Stronglift is a MFP favorite.

You may not need that much cardio depending on how much you burn, but hey do what you love. Mixing in 2 days strength training is good. As suggested, try to hit more muscles in your resistance training.

What would you reccomend? I dont want to spend a massive amount of time on resistance training currently but I do understand and acknowledge the benefits of strength training. However as fat loss is my main goal, my workouts are more centered to cardio currently.

I'm not much of a lifter so not sure I can give a recommendation. Personally, I just try to make sure that I can pass strength tests for someone at my age (hitting the major muscles - leg press, chest press, body weight exercises)

If fat loss is the goal lifting will support that better than you think. Lifting helps convince the body to burn more fat and less muscle while in a cal deficit.
