Total Beginner at 5'9" and 190 lbs looking for feedback on my current home workout routine!

I (20) am completely new to Reddit and a total beginner to working out.

Current Diet- I am actively controlling my calorie intake & focusing on a high protein diet.

Current Workout Routine (Zero equipment, pure bodyweight):

I train 5 days a week and also try to hit 4000 steps daily.

Upper Body Volume:

Decline pushups: 3 sets of 10 to 12 reps

Normal pushups: 3 sets of 15 reps

Pike pushups: 3 sets of 8 to 10 reps

Lower Body and Core Volume:

Bodyweight squats: 4 sets of 15 to 20 reps

Lunges: 3 sets of 12 reps per leg

Planks: 3 sets of 1 minute hold

I want to know if this routine is good enough to build a solid, attractive physique or if I need to add or change anything. Any advice on adjustments, sets, or extra exercises would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
