How do I lose body fat without losing body weight?
Right now, I'm currently doing light exercises every other day, and I am following the Paleo Diet.

By light exercises, I mean :

10 pushups
15 squats
15 arm lifts
Repeat for 3 sets

In the months that I have practiced this, I have seen the overall difference. However, right now, I think I've plateaued.

What should I do to maintain my overall weight, while losing body fat?

I believe my current weight (around 67kg?) is optimal already for my height (5'10"), so I'm pushing to maintain it while reducing my body fat.

Personally I wouldn't sweat your body weight. You'll find most muscular people will end up on the "obese" side of a basic BMI chart. Muscle weighs a lot more than fat:

I'd make these adjustments:

Flip to a solid program, away from a routine. Starting Strength gets a lot of love and is considered by many to be the most effective strength training program when it comes to gains in a given amount of time.
Your body fat is primarily controlled by your diet. Reducing calories is by far the most effective way to reduce body fat.
Strength training, especially following a progressive loading program, will increase your metabolism by ~10%, which increases your caloric burn 24/7.

That would break your plateau, address your body fat, and put you on a solid path to strength and fitness.
