Review My Routine/Program - Need help identifying weak spots

Looking for some feedback on a routine I just built. Top of post has a lot of background info on my goals and whatnot, the program is at the bottom. It's a mix of a lot of programs that I've used in the last four years, based on knowledge I've picked up along the way, and I just want to make sure what I've set up seems reasonable given my goals and that I haven't neglected something critical.

Any feedback is helpful, thanks!

Background:
  • 32, M, 225
  • When I started getting back into the gym after a multi year hiatus in 2019, my focus was on strength and has remained as such for a couple years. Now, I want to lose fat that I’ve been carrying while keeping most of the strength I’ve gained. My fat isn’t just something I gained in the last 2 years, either. It’s something I have carried for many, many years.
  • In the last 2.5 years, I’ve done the following programs:

    P90x > SSL 5x5 > Reddit PPL > GZCL Rippler > Your Strongest Year
