I guess it's better than nothing, unless those weights are too heavy for you I could advice you to add a few more reps, otherwise you might want to take off a pound or two in order to get more reps. Especially on the benchpress if you want to develop your chest.
Peanut butter is only "healthy" because it hold alot of proteins, like 20% of it, but more than 50% is also fat(vegetabilic though). So it would only be good if you'd like to add some extra calories to your daily diet, and if you're not afraid of getting a bit more flabulous, many use it during bulk, I rather increase my calorie intake by increasing "clean" protein foods. If you just want proteins you might just aswell eat some cottage cheese for example, or eggwhites(boiled).

That looks like a good routine, but once you've done it, to continue to get better you would have to make it more difficult, like by increasing reps or weight or something.

Peanut butter is proteinlicious, but a lot of the time doesn't it have trans fats due to how they treat or preserve it?

Do some more research. That routine is pretty poor, and you are completely neglecting some very important movements, and muscle groups.

I can't stay, but I'm sure others will point you in the right direction.

Forget about protein and fat content.
Buy a 100% natural peanut butter (it's just crushed peanuts). The fat content is all natural, and good for you.

Most people I know of consider PB to be a good source of fats, and don't generally eat it for the protein content.
