first off soreness is not an indicator of muscle growth.
now what are your goals with your lifting routine? i see you mention a fat loss program. if you are indeed trying to shed some pounds and are on a reduced calorie intake then your workout should reflect this. since you will be taking in less calories your lifting routine should be for muscle maintenace and not growth. so you should be shooting for 8-12 reps.
if bulk is what you are shooting for then are you eating enough? and are you eating enough of the right stuff? you should also be shooting for heavy weight with reps in the 6-8 range.
get yourself a tape measure and try some different routines and see which one gives the best results. listen to your body.
