IMO it doesn't matter what kind of workout you do. As long as you keep the intensity up high and lift weights atleast 3 times a week. ( but that's just me). But there are some very good programs out there and on this site. Take a look around too see what may work for you.

Want you really need to do is get your diet in check. At 177lbs (what is your height? ) you want to take in atleast 177g of protein ( no less ) You can go up to 266g of protein and that would be 1.5 x 177. So lets use 220g of protein , that is 880 cals. You might want to use the same for carbs or go higher ( I would go higher on lift days ) so lets use 220g of carbs = 880 cals. Now for fat , if you take in 75g of fat that would be 675 cals . You would be looking at aprox 2500 cals.

This is all speculation , I can't tell you what your exact numbers would be. You must write down what your eating now and get the total cals (f,p,c) and see if your gaining weight , loosing weight , maintaining Fat or Muscle.

Even though you want to get "cut" you still have to eat. Being 177lbs, 2500cals maybe a good start - maybe not , only you can tell.

Also IMO running is not very good. It's hard on the joints. Walking is better and will help you keep some muscle mass , while losing weight.
