You can do full body 3x a week.
As for splits you have options.
1. Pair things up like Legs / Biceps, Chest / Triceps, Back / Shoulders.
2. Do a 4 days split 2x Upper, 2x Lower alternated, with a day off in the middle, so 2 workouts before and 2 after the day off, obviously alternating the UB and LB workouts.
3. A 5 day split, with a Bi's and Tri's day in it, not seperate days, which means a 6 day split instead. Not keen on that personally.
In adherence to your current schedule the two best options in my eyes are TBT x3 or the paired option.
So for the paired option try something like this, with Abs included as well.
Legs / Biceps
4 Sets Squats, 8 reps.
4 Sets Lunges, 8 reps.
3 sets E-Z Bar Curls, 8 reps
3 sets Inclined Hammer Curls, 8 reps. (Both DB's working at once).
90 seconds Planks and 20 Leg Raises.
Chest / Triceps
3 sets Bench press, 8 reps.
3 sets Peck Dec 8 reps.
2 sets Skullcrushers, 8 reps.
2 sets Pressdowns, 8 reps.
90 seconds Planks and 20 Leg Raises.
Back / Shoulders.
3 sets Deadlifts, 8 reps.
3 sets Bent Over Barbell Rows, 8 reps.
4 Sets Shoulder Presses, 8 reps.
90 seconds Planks and 20 Leg Raises.
That keeps things simple, without using a lot of fancy exercises, that might require two or more movments in a rep, like Arnold Presses do for example.
This might be a workable thing, if you go for a paired option. If it needs a little tweaking, then fair enough.
