Hi! I'm interested in military service (Marine, specifically) and need to lose thirty-ish pounds to meet weight requirements. I also need more stamina and speed with running, as well as to increase my pushup skills (I can do 20 in a row but no more).

I have been lifting weights for about a year, and run off and on (right now is offish...I go on two, three mile runs a week as well as a day where I do about 15 minutes of intervals).

All that being said, what is a suggested workout routine, or even just a sort of skeleton (ie. run five days a week, do weights three) that can help me reach my goals of both losing weight, increasing speed and stamina, and becoming stronger? It sounds like a lot to ask (HEY WHY DON'T I JUST INVENT THE WORLD'S FIRST TIME MACHINE AND ALSO MAKE MORE MONEY THAN MICHAEL JACKSON EVER MADE IN HIS WHOLE LIFE...because those are totally achievable too), but I've given myself a year and a half until I'd like to enlist (and hopefully by the time I start talking to recruiters before then, I'll look decently in shape). Thanks!
