The answer to your question lies in how you feel. If you feel run down, unmotivated, and you have to drag yourself to train, you are probably doing a bit much. It's natural not to be 100% when you are cutting fat, but when motivation suffers it's a symptom of over-training. The lifting portion of the program looks pretty decent, and there are a couple ...

In addition to what Mark Rippetoe and Lon Kilgore had to say in Practical Programming for Strength Training, as an over 40 lifter I can offer what I've figured out for training at this stage in my life.
Jumping right in after any kind of layoff results in very intense DOMS. Just keep at it and your body will get used to it.
I can train longer and harder ...

In Mark Rippetoe and Lon Kilgore's Practical Programming for Strength Training, they include a chapter on Masters athletes, "usually defined as individuals 35-40 years of age and over". Here are a few relevant excerpts:

you just listen to your body,
first you need to train and here you should not concentrate on how much weight you lift
but you should concentrate on the form (i.e Full and Slow movement you must resist the weights).

I don't know what bodily functions are affected by a decreased energy expenditure but I have found two studies on the subject which I think you might find interesting.
The first is on 3 days of fasting, conducted at Department of Medicine, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, NY. Six men fasted for three days and as a result their ...

Here are my 50 cents.
I would say, by reading your question, that it is convenient to remember that the 3 following things are totally different:
When on a diet, mathematically absorbing less minerals, vitamins and other essential oils
Being on a reduced activity (not moving = consumming less energy, != lowering your metabolism)
Having an actual drop of ...

Gaining weight quickly can be as dangerous as losing weight quickly. If you are equating muscle to weight, in your question, then you will definitely need some exercise regiment to convert calories and bulk the muscle mass.
That said, the smartest path forward is to do so under the guidance of your doctor and a personal trainer. But if these warnings are ...

If you want to gain muscle and strength, then you need to
Eat
Don't buy into the 'hardgainer' non-sense.
Calories In > Calories Expended = Weight Gain
That's the simplest way I can put it. If you eat like a skinny person, you will gain weight like a skinny person (little to none). Proper nutrition is of course next but a little out of scope for ...

Nearly everything except eating, resting, and lifting heavy weights slows down muscle growth. So, yes, boxing will somewhat interfere with your bodybuilding. This answer may help.
However, it doesn't sound like your goal is "get bigger", it's "get fitter in every way", so your current amount of boxing is fine. Boxing will improve your conditioning, as well ...
