Fitness help please!! Any advise please!!?

Okay i have a few questions,

1) are these measurement average/high/low
Male
18
5'8-5'9
144lbs
10.6% body fat
21.3 bmi

if not average then what are some good numbers to shoot for?



i go to the gym 3-4 times a week.
3 days i lift(chest tri)(shoulder leg)(bi's back)
and all 4 times i do some cardio.(tredmill/stair climber/ basketball)
when i lift i do the regulare 3 set 10 rep
my diet is fairly descent. not a health freak but i watch what i eat.

2) im wondering what i need to do to get stronger? i just wanna increase power, since im kinda short and all i needa be able to handle things you know?
should i start taking whey protein?

i dont wanna get all bulky, im actually trying to lose fat or atleast replace with muscle, i just wanna get built and increase my power and strength.

from how im seeing it if i keep doing cardio and lifting i should end up where i want.i think. but im wondering if taking protein would help with my strength increase?

i have a fire academy starting in about a month n a half. and i want to be as prepared as possible physically.

please help with whatever information or tips or strategies you have. any help is greatly appreciated.

please and thank you

run alot..alot of cardio to lose the fat..protien would be good to build muscle but look for something with little fat..i do 4 sets 8-12..but i do 4 different workouts for every muscle..but i alternate each day..like one day back biceps trapz abs forearms..then the next day triceps chest shoulders abs...but abs everyday
