I've been looking forward to an update man keep it up! Just keep working on building those habits and remember 6-7kg is solid progress. Not as fast as it could be but a clear indicator of you making good lifestyle choices.

As for cardio to keep heart-rate high I suggest interval-type training. Me and a mate used to just go to the park and mark out 3 lines say 15m, 25m, and 40m away. We'd then do a series of ~5-6 "sets".

Each set would involve running to the first line, touching the ground, running back, touching the ground, etc etc. Once run to all 3 lines and back we'd do ~10 pushups and 10 situps. That would be 1 "set". We would slowly build intensity as we work through the sprints starting at say 50% intensity. We'd get buggered very quickly and so would often need a break so would walk around the soccer/cricket fields and after halfway walking to recover we'd jog back and about every 10m do a tuck-jump or drop-down (basically getting down flat and pushing yourself back up similar to a pushup. After 5-6 sets with 2-3 "breaks" doing jumps and drop-downs we'd be really dead. You can also modify the situps to just do different type of crunch or work different area of abs with each set depending what you prefer.

gl man!

To achieve good results in a short time, doing intervals will help. If you are on a threadmill, warm up at jogging pace for 1min, then run for 1min, sprint for the next minute at your maximum speed, then go back to your normal running pace to catch up.

1min warm up
a) 1min run
b) 1min sprint (your maximum)

repeat A and B till 15minutes. Guaranteed to get smashed. Incorporate weights into your work out, and soon you'll lose all those excess fats. Cardio is what burns them.

you don't need to go to the gym to lose weight. Eat at a calorie maintenance and run 5km a day like you already are.
