electrician help

i am re-wiring one of my rooms. right now i have 3 20 amp services going to the room. one service is for the outlets, the other 2 are split up between the room lights, outside lights and garage lights. i am thinking of putting all the lights on one service but i am close to 80% of the sevice i think.
here is what i have:

4 led ceiling lights- 12.5W each
2 outside 500w lights. not much chance both will be on at the same time, but...
ceiling fan- (120w)?
plus 4 40w bulbs in fan.? 160w
4 4ft flour 2 bulb T12 lights in garage.? (720w)?
motion light 300w

i get about 2200w or 18 amps. i am not sure of the current draw on the flour. lights and the ceiling fan.
i can pull the motion light off and put it on the panel in the garage which would drop it down to 1900w/15A.

i had 3 circuits because when i played in a band i pulled in another 20amp service.
right now i have the lights split up on 2 sevices and it is really whacked out the way it is done.

it is wired with 12g now, i could pull the section from the panel to the first place it splits back and pull in 10g and leave the rest 12g.
