First of all, the most you can possibly lose in a week while dieting and exercising in a healthy manner is 1% bodyfat. So for you right now, that would 2.5 pounds.
For eating, try to get in 5-6 small meals a day, steadily decreasing your carbs as the day goes on. This way you have most of your carbs at breakfast and no carbs at your last meal. Also try to eat a good protein source at every meal, if not most. These include: chicken, beef, eggs, fish, whey powder. Calorie wise, you should take in about 10*bodyweight, so you should have around 2600 calories a day in order to make a deficit. Your body will get used to this, however, and eventually slow down the fat burning. In order to counteract this, at the end of each week, have a high calorie day, one around 12*bodyweight, or even as high as your maintenance level. This will keep your body from slowing down.
Now as for exercise, since you don't have access to a gym, weight training is out. You can still do some sets of pushups and situps a few times each week though. For your cardio, trying doing it 6 out of 7 days of the week, and for each session, just go 30 to 50 minutes, but make sure during the whole time that your heart rate is up between 130 to 140 (prime fat burning range). And see what options other than running are available to you.
