(Change some aspect of diet and / or training)
5) Is banana good to add in whey shake?
(Okay, yes)
6) whats the ideal diet on weight days and on cardio days?
(There's no ideal diet, just one where you eat a good amount of calories well spaced in relation to your weight and goals.)

Re: Cardio vs Weights diet
I would try to get more of protein from natural food sources rather than depending on shakes so much. There are many healthy lean protein choices available. Always have breakfast, eat something around every 3 hours and have a post workout recovery meal within 1 hour of exercising. This meal should be low fat and have a ratio of between 2-4 grams of carbohydrate per 1 gram of protein. (Have a banana here). HIIT is best as BossMan said, but change up the intervals durations and ratios every workout or 2. To prevent plateaus I change clients workouts constantly (cardio and resistance training).
