IMO i would change things slowly as you are not a closed time scale.
And going in the deep end you will lose to much muscle mass.

Start by hitting the bike at 30mins and cleaning up you diet cutting out all bad foods.
Give the body time to drop the fat and step things up when wight loss slows down.

Right now i'm training to drop bodyfat, not happy with how much I picked up over the course of getting married and the weeks after! Carbs are deliberately low, trying to see what all this keto fuss is about. Ultimately like most people I just want to look good. I should probably shoot to lose more than 10-15lbs to get to a BF% I am happy with. I am saying "BF%" although I'm not measuring it, just going by how I look in the mirror.

I did neglect to mention that I mix flaxseeds with most things that I eat so I get a good deal of fats from that and omega 3 caps. Almonds in the oats is a good idea.

Lots of CV is a positive but you aren't eating even close to enough carbs. I don't think it's possible to stick to your training plan without an overhaul of your diet.

To lose 10lb in 10 weeks you can afford to eat way more carbs on that training plan. I would, at the very least, add in 100g of carbs from rice/potatoes on your workout days.
I would also consider increasing good fats, particularly on lower carb days - perhaps having some chopped almonds or sunflower seeds with your oats for example.
