To throw in a counter view... not that I particularly disagree with KayakerJoe...
Resistance training is subject to the laws of diminishing returns and (to make up some numbers that are from memory roughly in the ballpark), 1x sets will get you 70% of the gains of 3x sets, and 2x about 90%.
Here’s a link that includes research references.

3x will get better results, but not likely 3x better or faster results.0 -
If your training is trending you towards your goals it is probably enough. If it is not trending you towards your goals it might be time to reevaluate.1

Update. Starting a slight calorie deficit today and going to start going for a jog/run twice per week. Not done any cardio in ages so will be a struggle! I’ve read before that running can affect muscle growth any truth in this?2

Watching your post with interest, great work on the persistence; seems to be half the battle. Good question with the cardio stuff, been starting to consider that again too.
Have you found implementing pull ups has helped you much so far? I follow the SL5X5 program, but trying to add a bit extra mass to the chest and shoulder by throwing 50 push ups to the end of each of my workout days.1
