The 21-year-old recorded a six-dive series of 78.40, 84.15, 79.20, 89.25, 88.80 and 81.00 to earn 500.80 points for his second title in Palembang after his victory in the 3m springboard synchro with Yeoh Ken Nee on Monday.
Compatriot Ooi Tze Liang made it a one-two for Malaysia with a 445.25 total. Indonesia's Muhammad Nasrullah was third on 420.85.
Bryan has been improving his combined score consistently with each competition of late and if the Kuching-born diver continues to improve, he could be in line for an Olympic medal in London next year.
According to national coach Yang Zhuliang, Lomas will be fighting for a medal at the Olympics if he scores 560 points. Lomas said he was consistent and made fewer mistakes yesterday.
"I am happy to win my fourth straight platform individual title. It is a great achievement and I hope to continue winning for Malaysia in upcoming Sea Games," said Bryan yesterday.
"This title is significant as I surpassed the 500-point barrier for the first time. Although, I've done well of late, I still need to continue improving. My problem is my entry into the water. I need to work on it before the Olympics."
Yeoh Ken Nee and Pandelela Rinong are expected to win Malaysia's sixth and seventh title in the men's 3m springboard and women's 10m platform individual events today.
