Your West Asian (as opposed to East Med) might simply be explained by your "Bukharian Uzbek" background, if that area is sufficiently more Persian than the rest of Uzbekistan. However, your East Med seems oddly high from my recollection. What was it in Eurogenes K13? And please post your K36 again. While it's worthwhile noting that one MENA component can spill over into another in Gedmatch, this does suggest an even higher amount of it for your dad. Now, this may be explained a number of ways. It could be from a more recent Persian/Turkish/Tajik/etc arrival who was more EastMed-shifted. It could be from an Arab. After all, your father is presumably Muslim and every Muslim country has someone claiming descent from Muhammad or a close relative of his. Perhaps some Arabs settled in Bukhara. Now, the two groups that have the relevant proportions of East Med and West Asian that I know of are Assyrians and Mizrachim. The reason to think against such an introgression is because the former is Christian and the latter is Jewish - this would've required a change of religion. And while Mizrachim certainly lived in Bukhara, I don't recall of an Assyrian presence there. None of these explanations are mutually exclusive, and you need to keep them all in mind.
At the very least, you'll need Davidski to specifically help you with this puzzle, as you won't know wtf you're doing with G25; I barely do. However, one thing you should do, if for some reason you haven't done it already, is CHECK YOUR COUSIN MATCHES. And do it carefully. Whenever they're not East Slavic or typically Uzbek, see if you can triangulate them. Note the size of segment, and divide by the double of the total amount of centimorgans that the given site allots for all of your DNA (normally 3.5k). So, if you triangulate a 40cm segment, the % of that ancestry will be estimated as 40/7000.
Best of luck.
