Your b.p. readings are normal, so no need to worry. For your protein intake, get serum proteins done and share results. Please consult a dietitian to assess your protein intake, as per your height, weight, level of physical activity.

Nothing in these readings worries me. 130/80 taken 25 minutes after weight training and 129/80 right after a scooty ride while standing are both post-exertion readings, not your true BP - systolic normally stays up for a while after resistance exercise. Your protein intake (300 g chicken plus 4 eggs) is fine for a 66 kg gym-going 22-year-old and does not raise BP; salt, sleep debt, energy drinks and pre-workout supplements do. Do not label yourself hypertensive on random readings.
Next Steps
Check BP sitting quietly for 5 minutes, arm supported, at least 30 minutes after coffee or exercise - do this morning and evening for 7 days and note the values. If the average stays above 135/85, book a Practo consult with me with that log and we will screen properly.

There is absolutely no need to worry since it's within bp.range and bp usually rises post workout but standing falls down.
Regarding your diet is not right you are not consuming the right portion.

BP taken soon after a workout or a ride is expected to run higher than your resting baseline, so those two readings alone don't tell you much about your usual blood pressure.
Next Steps
Check it again after sitting quietly for 10-15 minutes on a rest day, and track a few readings taken that way.
Health Tips
Your protein intake sounds reasonable for your activity level, but a dietitian can confirm what's right for you specifically.
