Best workout routine, timing and products?

5'11", 181 lbs, 23, male.
I've been working out 3-5 days a week for the past 2 months. Have seen little result but not satisfied.
I usually start by running on treadmill for 20-50 minutes on increasing pace speed 5.5-7.5 no incline without rest and burn about 350-650 calories with average of 157 bmp to max of 180 bmp. After the treadmill I do weight lifting for about an hour. Over all I burn 800-1400 calories within and hour to 2. Result is not really satisfying me compare to what i do. Using a multivitamin before and protein shake after exercise once a day. Lost about 10 lbs only, muscle appearance isn't noticeably increased. Lately having stiff neck and shoulders more. But extremely like the after feeling of exercise. Trying to eat less but more likely keeping it at the same level i used to. Still have my belly fat but can feel 6 packs behind it when tightened.
I use Polar F11 HRM, measure my ownindex every 3 days in the morning, vo2max changes up and down, sometimes 37-43 sometimes 49 to 53. And my goal is to have a beach body before July.
So final questions are:
What routine will give me the best result?
Am i doing too much and not allowing my body to develop?
Is my heart rate high compare to other people?
Most effective way of working on treadmill? Is elliptical is better than treadmill?
How to get rid of my belly fat easily?
Should i separate cardio and weightlifting into two different days?
What is your average heart rate when walking?
What kind of drink should i use while working out? - plain water doesn't really do good for me, it makes my mouth feel dry and drink too much. tried vitamin water but has too much sugar.

Advise me whatever can help me to achieve my goal, share your personal experience and send me a helpful weblinks and product recommendation
Thank u very much!
 
First off, you should limit your workouts to within an hour for best results. Next, you can't generally build muscle and lose fat at the same time. So you need to either bulk - eat a calorie excess of 300-500 and focus on the weights, maybe a bit of cardio at the end of HIIT (many articles on it if you don't know what it is) and then do a cut, a calorie deficit of 300-500 to strip the body fat.
Or you could do it the other way round.
Make sure that you are getting enough protein in your diet and not relying on the shakes.
