cutting concerns


I recently figured out I have Type II Diabetes so I'm stopping my bulking program to start cutting. I'm 5'6 and started bulking at a weight of 138lbs; now I weight 160lbs. I tore my meniscus and strained my ACL playing soccer so I'm really not into running right now. So far I plan on altering my diet to eating less carbs (fibrous carbs only though) and less fat. This is what my schedule is going to look like:

Monday: Chest, Abs
Tuesday: Cardio
Wednesday: Biceps, Back, Forearms
Thursday: Legs
Friday: Shoulders, Triceps

I know to continue doing high weight less reps so I'm going to be doing a 3x6 routine because I'm currently reaching a plateau at 3x4.

So I'm wondering if this is a good routine and also what to do about cardio. I like biking so I'm leaning towards doing that for cardio, but I'm not really sure how long to bike for, etc. Thanks for the help.

After doing so more reading and reading through some stickies, I'm kinda confused. Should I be eating less carbs or actually doubling my carb intake?

you should be lowering your intake of carbs but make sure mostly that you limit fats as they have a lot more calories per gram. if you're trying to cut, a diet high in protein will help a lot.

I've been intaking a lot of protein because I've been bulking so I don't plan on changing that while I cut. Does anybody have any critiques or suggestions about my schedule? Is biking for an hour or two a week good?
