Ok so thanks for reading. I went from 220lbs to 150lbs and that was about 2 years ago. I have been lifting on and off for a while now but never had a decent plan. I've been looking around and this is what I've managed to put together. If you could tell me what to add and if i should decrease or increase sets and reps that would be great.

Firstly, congratulations on 70lb weight loss. That's no small feat.
Each individual muscle group on its own looks fine, but how do you plan to put all of this together throughout the week?SQ 172.5kg. BP 105kg. DL 200kg. OHP 62.5kg @ 67.3kg

The exercises are fine, but like everyone else said -- it kind of depends on how you plan to put it together. How will you split it?
I would also decrease some of the reps and increase the weight on a few...depending on your goals of course -- but for example, weighted situps -- why not increase the weight you use, and decrease reps? I personally have been doing decline situps with a weight plate, (and often incorporate a twist at the top) -- and when I can reach 15-20 reps easily and beyond, I increase the weight plate I use.
Lateral raises and side raises, I would decrease reps -- but again, it does depend on your goals.
The planks at the end there don't really make sense to me. If you're going to just do normal ol' planks, the best way to get something out of it is to hold the position for as long as you can each time (and always aim for longer periods of time). 30 seconds isn't much and if you could hold it for a minute, why would you cut it off at 30 seconds? I would add side plank pulses and such too, and other plank variations to challenge your muscles a little more...
This list seems like a starting point of exercises you could incorporate into a much more well developed plan.
