You can do alot more than that can't you? What's your fitness level.

Just try to do as many pushups, pullups, squats as you can every day, go to failure on each. Maybe add some core/abs work as well. If you aren't very fit add in some rest days. Run/jog/swim 2 times a week (total) for 30minutes would be ok (maybe an hour if swimming?). You are running and swimming too much, is your goal to build muscle? Then focus on the calisthenics movements and add movement variations when you start getting stronger.

Also get some weights if you can for your arms/shoulders, and will let you add more movement patterns

(Be careful with doing too many pushups btw, when I was doing too many I started getting tennis elbow, fixed it easily though).

At your age you should be doing 30 push-ups and 30 sit-ups.
3 sets of 10. Skip rope for 15 minutes and you’re done.
Anything more is excessive and could lead to injury.
Drink milk, A glass at bed time.

You know you are too young to join the gym. You are at a growing age. You should focus more on strength and flexibility. practice some Outdoor games like football, badminton, etc. Make yourself flexible and develop strength, agility, and balance. Here are some sports which will help you develop all these qualities in yourself. Gymnastics, aerobics, one of the unique and rare sports is Mallakhamb which is also known as Pole wrestling. Mallakhamb exercises are best for calisthenics.
