yeah as long as your getting stronger with your current routine I wouldn't bother changing it. Look how far you got with your current routine. Also your cutting you can only get so strong on a cut.

Ill cosign this entire post. Great program to start with.Ok havent been in here for a minute but I started doing the Starting Strength program about a month ago because I didnt like how weak my core and legs felt after a year or so of a solid gym routine.
I will admit I didnt adhere strictly to the diet recommendations because I work 30+hrs a week and attend class full time. I dont have the luxury of cooking potatoes and chicken every meal and I have a limited budget.
With that said my workouts were centered on only compound lifts- squats, deads, presses, pull ups..ect.
Even with some bad rest days and lack of intake I feel much stronger. After one month my squat weight has gone up from being able to rep 165x5 to 225x5. Deadlifts went from 275x5 to 335x5 (curious to know what my max would be now). My overhead press went from 110x5 to 130x5 (slow progress likely due to crappy diet). Bench went from 170x5 to 205x5.
This program is simple, yet you bust your *** if you do it right. I would walk out of the gym after maybe 50 minutes of work just exhausted. I notice my quads are beginning to tone up and my center of balance is probably the best its ever been. I highly suggest those new to lifting to do this program because it sets the tone for whatever you decide to do next. I wish I did it when I first started but hey, the more ya know.

THIS. Cutting fat is your main goal, not making gains. Your good I would only switch it up if you stop loosing weight.

I might create a new workout routine this weekend by picking 2-3 workouts for each body part I focus on.

Been off preworkouts for about 3 weeks and my workouts feel so much more productive. I guess cuz I'm not so wired. Also been starting off with incline dumbbell press and my upper chest isn't lagging anymore

Summertime I recommend hitting up Harvard football stadium and running the stairs. There is also a track/field there as well.
