Answers:
It's much more complicated than that, but much more simple. We'd need to know what your full diet was like, and various other details. Metabolisms can vary greatly as well.
You're generally on the right track though, but keep in mind that getting under 10% body fat is pretty hard for the average person.
Also, your "workouts", if it's just those four exercises, is pretty minimal. Those exercises don't do much to burn fat directly, and they're not covering your muscle groups all that well either. You should be doing stomach crunches and back extensions foremost, for core strength at the least. Cardio/Aerobic exercise is what you need to focus on for body fat percentage reduction. Over the long run, weightlifting is necessary for getting a healthy bodyfat percentage, but burning the fat via cardio is your first priority if your body fat percentage is the focus.
i guess, cause thats alot of exercise but i dont know since i dont know how tall u r or how much u weigh. sorry i couldnt be of more help.
