Is my strength training accurate?

Can someone look at my diary and tell me if my strength training is sufficient two or three times a week for my legs? Am I doing too much? Too little? I want lean muscular legs, but not too bulky.
Hip Adduction, machine, seated 4 reps at 30, 70 lbs.
Glute Curl 4 reps at 15, 50 lbs
Hip Abduction, Machine, Seated 5 reps at 20, 70 lbs.
Leg Press 3 reps at 20 , 130 lbs.
I also do cardio, the arc trainer swtiching the inclines and resistance 5 times a week, burning about 500 calories.
The scale is not changing, I carry my weight on my butt and It does looks more lifted. I have increased the intensity of my workouts whether it's longer cardio adding resistance, or bigger weights and more reps during strength training. When do I know when to stop adding weight and reps? I don't understand why my scale is the same.
I have been doing this program for almost 2 months. I did up my calories as people were telling me I wasnt eating enough (I have always been an under-eater)
