This is a lot bro, implement it incrementally or you will struggle

Lol “read 25 books over the summer”. I remember when I used to think like this unironically

Do those goals align with your yearly/long term goals? If so, i’d say you’re fine. If you feel like something is missing like maybe more hobbies, add to it

give yourself a "cheat day"

Only thing I will say is since you are fat make sure you are on a caloric deficit

I'd suggest making a list of "non-negotiable goals and habits" and a list of "would be great if got done goals and habits" too. You're undoubtedly not going to reach all of these goals so having a few hard-set ones that you achieve will get the momentum rolling, getting the motivation up, and push you towards achieving the others. After that, you don't have to get down on yourself for not achieving the other non-essential goals and can treat each one you accomplish as icing on the cake.

Personally, I'd add work, lifting, nutrition, quitting porn and drugs, sleep hygiene, and reading to the "non-negotiable list". This will get the ball rolling and set a solid foundation. After you get in a groove and build some confidence, you can aim for some other goals like meditating, studying personal finance, learning to play the guitar, etc.

Cardio is fine, but don't do it too much or you'll hinder your weightlifting performance.

Things to Quit/Never Do: 1. Porn/Jerking Off 2. Sugar 3. Social Media 4. TV/Videogames 5. Caffeine 6. Alcohol 7. Drugs

Porn, definitely. Jerking off is not inherently bad if it's without porn, just use your imagination (every porn user is addicted and when masturbating struggles to reach orgasms without watching porn). TV and videogames are not bad, just consume in moderation.

Try to spread it out. Most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a short amount of time, but underestimate what they can accomplish in the long term. For example: Start Stronglifts and let your body adjust for about 2 months. Then add in cardio. Then 2 years from now you will have been lifting for 24 months and running for 22 months. See how that isn't an extreme difference? But it will help your body acclimate. Throw in cold showers after you start meditating, if you want. Again, 60 years from now there won't be a big difference between 60 years of cold showers and 59 years 10 months of cold showers. BUT, if you try to do both at once you may get overwhelmed and do nothing. Then you will end up missing out on both for much longer.
