2 weeks of intermittent fasting and following Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength program: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=158406513 which is in a nutshell doing compound exercise three times a week.

I wake up at around 8am
Go to gym at 8:30am finish at around 9am
start eating at 2 pm
stop eating at 10 pm

Results:
-have lost 5-6 pounds
-noticed reduced belly fat
-more frequent pooping
-had increased my squat from 75 lbs to 100 lbs (beginner weightlifter)

Is my timing alright or can I optimized it more for better result, for instance, moving my eating window closer to post workout.

    I think whatever works for you in terms of satiety is what you should do. Nutrient timing is really not a thing for what you are doing. Keep it up!

    Whatever you feel works best for you(lifestyle, schedule, etc). IF is nothing special but a tool to use to make cutting less crappy. I've learned that having a "window" doesn't matter. Your caloric balance is what's going to help you.
