1.4kg isn't a huge weight differential and could be an number of factors. Most likley increased muscle development and your stats would seem to support this. You can get quite quick gains as a beginner in this regard.
Good starter programme by the way and your hitting all major muscle groups including legs which is good to see!

If your only cardio is the warm up then yes I would say you are not doing enough. You should aim for at least 20 minutes of sustained cardio, walking running, cycling and ideally 30-40 mins. How much depends on your body and the results you get. If 3 times a week of 20 mins gets results then great. If not then increase until it does.

Remeber that fat loss is achieved at a rate of about 0.5-1.0% a month so it's a slow and steady progress.

If you have access to a BF% measuring device use it to track your progress every week or so and your total weight. Calc out your lean tissue mass and ensure it doesn't drop. If your losing muscle mass then your not eating enough most likley. It's also a huge waste doing all that exercise only to get muscle wastage!

You don't gain weight by eating less and working out more. The only way you can gain weight is by eating more. So I think you should be looking more closely at your diet.

Take measurements of various bodyparts, and take photos of yourself. Your BF% reading could be off.

Also weight yourself on the same scale at the same time and same state of hydration each week.

Have a look at your scales too-stand on it 3 times in a row and see if reads the same each time. Slightly differing foot placement can make a big difference

The weight gain you had is the same as a few glasses of water.

I regularly vary by 2 kg in a couple of days

really i did not know that could differ dat much in a few days so thanks feelin bit better now
