Take more time off bro, and pack on some more calories per day! Consume more lean meats, more fish, sweet potato's, brown rice...etc. Incorporate Dead Lifting, Power Cleans, Squats, Wide Bench...
Just sounds like you need a lot of fine tuning, but you're on the right track!!! Message me with any other questions, I know this was vague, but I don't even know if you'll bother reading it haha...

Im gonna answer your question with a question.
What is your reason behind you doing 3 sets of 11-12 reps on everything? Do you feel like that is working for you?
You can ask 20 different people for advice and you'll get 20 different answers. Because everyone is different. No matter what the magazines or the know it all personal trainers tell you, there is no cookie cutter or universal workout out plan that fits everyone. You may have a muscle group that grows faster than the next guy or one thats slower. Your body may react different to a high calorie diet than the next guy. The best thing to do is learn your body and how it reacts to different things like rep range and training styles. Try using dropsets, pyramiding, super sets, giant sets. Try out a little bit of the power lifting styles of training. Keep a note book with you and write your workouts down. Then if you notice a change in your body you like or dont like, you can go back and see what it was that caused it. Basically, use your current workout plan as a base line and tailor your workouts to what works best for you.
