The weights you're doing are going to do little to nothing to your shape, let alone your chest.
Firstly, you'll never build muscle if you do strength training every night, you have to allow time for the muscle tissue to heal, so do it every other night, with the occasional two day break. On the days when you're not strength training, do some cardio.
On to your actual training. If you're not willing to join a gym, then you're going to have to work out your maximums on the weights you have, which may mean buying more of the same. Find out the heaviest thing you can lift in each exercise. You should be training on about 80% of this maximum.
You've got the right idea with the triads of routines, but they should be circulated triads rather than sets of three one after the other (ie, do some bicep curls, then sit ups, then push ups, and repeat the cycle three times).
Importantly, to get your desired chest, you're going to have to work out the whole set of pectoral muscles, and the corresponding muscles on your back.
To do this, you should be doing triads of push-ups in your routine, doing as many as possible each time and increasing as soon as you feel you can do any more. A good goal is to go up by 5 during each cycle every week. To do the whole muscle, you have to change your arm position, so do a cycle of 40 (or however many you can do) with your hands shoulder width apart, then on the next cycle, do the same amount with your hands close together, then the last cycle with your arms wide in a cross formation. Keep your head facing ahead, and not to the floor.
On the other hand, you could work out your entire body well by going rock climbing three times a week and pushing yourself seriously hard.
Food intake isn't a huge issue, as long as you work off what you put in.
