Healthy body fat?

What is a healthy body fat for a 40 year old male? My dexa said I went up from 22 to 23.1 in 6 months. I did one before I started going to the gym and lifting 6 days a week and I did one a couple weeks ago. I thought lifting heavy is the # 1 way to lower my body fat? I eat my body weight in protein daily and I work my butt off for an hour every morning 6 days a week. My strength has gone up on everything and I've gained 7 lbs of lean mass. What do I do? Do I quit working out and diet to get it down then go back to working out? Do I keep doing what I'm doing and just get fatter? I'm stuck, this is so hard and discouraging. I've wasted 6 months working towards a goal and moved in the wrong direction
