Well I wouldn't recommend to eat carbs every meal especially if it's in big quantity. Especially if it's low quality pasta. It also depends on your body I guess. You need to find a diet that you like and that works for you.
And don't give up. Losing the belly fat is the hardest part and requires the strongest will.

If you want to in increase your reps, do 3 sets with your max rep each. This is how i do it. Works pretty well for me, i do 32 pull ups and 60 dips. Push up not sure, 80, 90 maybe. I focus more on strength than i do on the reps tho.
I train 3 days a week, Mo. We. and Fr. Upper body and 3 days a week Tue. Thur. and Sat. Stomach and legs. I do weighted Calisthenics.
About your Pull ups. If you can do only chin ups then focus on them. When you can do around 10 chin ups, you should atleast be able to do 1-2 Pull ups. And from here you can work on your Pull ups. You can also use a exercise band to make it easier for you to perform a pull up and then build on that. When you can do 1 Pull up without the band, then keep doing them everyday. I am not saying train everyday, but if you walk by a pull up bar and have a free minute, do your 1 pull up and continue with what you were doing. Just do it from time to time throughout the day + the normal training day, this way your body will adapt quickly to it and you will increase alot - depends on you ofc.

Do you guys do any fitness tracking? I use Fitbit but it’s got some issues for me. Fitbit doesn’t track my “steps” that accurately as I row with my tracker on and I think it only equates a rowing stroke to 1-1.5 steps but a single rowing stroke is much harder than just taking a step lol.
It also might undersells me on calories, the erg has a built in calorie tracker though I’m not really sure if it’s more or less accurate than Fitbit lol.
Here are my stats for yesterday for anyone curious. I rowed a little more than 12K meters before work which is mostly me sitting at a desk anyway lol. 12K meters is roughly 7.5 miles and Fitbit only gave me 6.5 miles for the whole day lmfao.

I don't know why, but my results are extremely slow for some reason (except cardio). I went from like 4 (if not less) push-ups in April to 31 push-ups now. I thought i'd do at least 50 at that time. I still can't do a single pull-up, but thank God i can do 3 chin-ups at least. I still have belly for some reason (skinny belly, but still), even though i'm fucking 69,2 kg with 185 cm! Because of that, my abs are not showing up, but i can feel 'em.
Can someone give me advice what to do? I've already lost a bit of motivation because of that, maybe someone knows what to do to improve myself. I don't want to be a pussy that'd screw it all and came back to his previous lifestyle, but

As for your lack of strength progression, it’s cause you’re losing weight, it’s hard to make gains when you eat little calories. If you eat more, you’ll get stronger, but i guess that’s not your goal right now.

going to the gym has helped me with diabetes.
My Hb1C (average value of blood sugar level during the past 3 months) has significantly dropped from 9.5 (really bad) to an incredible value of 6 in 3 months period .... I have a bench press and some other machines to work out at home, but it's never really the same as going to the gym, the atmosphere rules.

What do you mean how many workouts ? If you're doing a split routine, you're gonna be IDEALLY wanting to hit a muscle group twice a week for optimal results. Say, if you're doing chest/triceps on monday, you should aim to work the same muscle group sometime later in the week. BUT this means you'll workout a minimum of 5x a week in total, which is a lot for most people, so you can just do it once a week, but results will come slower (studies have shown that training a muscle 2x a week is more effectoive than once)
Alternatively, an upper/lower or full body program would have you covered and it's more effective. Just depends on how you like to train at the end of the day.
Btw, i don't do that routine anymore, i focus on cardio and bodyweight.
