Is Workout Routine And Diet I Am Doing Enough to Reach My Goal Within a Five or Six Month Time Frame

I was hoping to find someone who could tell me if I am taking the right steps to lose weight and create a toned body at the same time.
For the past 6 weeks, I have been working out 4 to 5 days a week at the gym with a basic plan the gym owner created for me to target all muscle groups; my routine is to walk 3 miles first, then work out certain muscle groups on certain days, alternating upper and lower body exercises. I spend one hour on the treadmill and 45 minutes on weights and exercise machines.
I also take mixed martial arts classes twice a week, and practice it at home. The classes last anywhere from 1 1/2 to 2 hours each session, and are very intense.
Also, about twice a week, I do a dance cardio workout at home along with a DVD I purchased. I do about 30 minutes each time.
The total amount of hours I spend doing intense exercise each week is about 11 1/2 hours.
I am staying on a 1525-calorie diet plan that includes proteins, milk, multigrain cereal, fruit, and vegetables, fish, seafood, chicken, and turkey.
I have already toned up some, and have lost about 7 lbs.
I'm just wondering if I'm doing enough to lose some serious weight within about a five or 6-month period of time.
