I have made some progress every week but not sure if it's as efficient as it could be
I usually do 5 exercises with 4 sets of 10-12 reps, (5x5 for squats and deadlifts only) a 20-21 set total with 1 min rest intervals
Mon Chest/tri
TUE Legs/abs
WED Back/bis
THR off
FRI Chest/tris
SAT Back/bis
SUN off
I've read too many conflicting threads/posts..Could this be limiting my progress?

Reading too many conflicting threads/posts definitely can limit progress.
The "overtraining" bugaboo gets thrown around these forums far too often by posters who have no idea what really is overtraining. As long as you're making progress as you describe, you'll be fine. The workout volume sounds pretty reasonable, and keeping Squats/Deads in a 5x5 isn't gonna kill your CNS too much.
What will help you the most is learning about deloading. When you see signs that you need a deload, follow the tips to assist w/ that recovery.
