Sorry, forgot to mention, I'm doing the initial program still squat/press/DL and squat/bench press/DL.
It's easier for me from schedue POV, to have 6 30-40 minutes workouts a week, than 3 1-1.5 hours/week, I think it'll make my deadlift fresher, bein the last exercise I usually reach it exhausted.

Started at low weights (bar only except at DL, I started at 40KGs)
It's been ~3 months.
Age 40, 110KGs, height 190cm, very little weight change 1-2KGs in 3 months, 2500 kcal on training days/2000kcal on rest days , ~150 grams on rest days, ~200 grams on training days.

Keep your protein intake up every day. You weight staying the same is probably do-able for you, though generally progress is made more efficiently either bulking (gaining weight, building muscle) or cutting (losing weight, losing fat, trying to retain muscle) back and fort vs recomping at one bodyweight. But if you're not too small you can manage for awhile gaining very slowly.

Make the 3x/week at 60-75 minutes (should be as long as it takes) happen.
