To be honest, I haven't read all the posts, but here's a few pieces of advice I can throw out.
Situps are sort of un-useful. There are so many better things you can do. Leg lifts, hanging curled-leg raises, v-ups. Look up some other ab exercises or ask me about which type you want. Your aesthetic want is probably more about tone than muscle gain. You have a reasonable amount of muscle, don't worry too much bout that. The push-ups are a waste at this point. 50 is a good amount to be able to do, and like someone else said, it's basically just endurance. You won't really see a gain in strength or muscle size. Don't listen to the whole "go to a fucking gym" deal, it's not really necessary. There are plenty of acceptable bodyweight exercises, but if you just stick to basic ones, you don't go anywhere. (The only thing you might want to aim for is a gym or weightlifting room and work on compound lifts like squats, deadlifts, cleans, snatches, etc. They're just about the only thing you can't do with bodyweight and help a lot. If you have 30 dollars to spend, get the book Starting Strength. Fucking genius) Anyway, instead of pushups, do dips. Especially if you have some extra fat, the little extra bodyweight compared to muscle weight will make the exercise a tad bit more intense. also, do some handstand pushups (use a wall if you cna't balance) If you do jogging, please look up proper running form. I can elaborate on that if you want me too. You can do more damage than good if you don't run correctly.
If you can do 15 pullups, you don't need to keep working on them all that much, and if you do, 20-25 should be reasonable. At that point, learn to do muscle ups, and do them a lot. They target a hell of a lot more of things, and do a better workout. Try some HIIT for sprinting speed and fat loss, too. Tell me what you think
