Eat more, you're 131lbs so it's no suprise that your lifts are progressing slowly.
Do squats first whenever the rack is free.
Also go heavier on your deadlifts, have OHP as 50% of your deadlift is worrying.

Who doesn't curl 50% of deadlift weight? :wink:

You need to up that deadlift, I could deadlift 120kg within a few months at the gym and I only weighed about 150 pounds.

Oh yeah and buy some peanut butter
Just a major case of manning up. Shovel more food down your body, and throw more weight on the bar. Don't be afraid to push it, training is supposed to be hard.
How tall are you, OP?

how can you expect to bench 100kg if you weigh 63 kilos? you need to bulk up. eat more and train harder.
