Several things will help you get in great shape for next season. (if only more took the long term approach..sigh)

One is to drop weight, watching what you eat is part of it, but increasing your amt and intensity of exercise is the other side of he coin. Cycling is the easiest way to do this. Just start increasing reasonably the length of your rides, and then add in some intensity. running frequency will get you further at this point in the game then increasing your volume. So run 5-6 times per week, even if some of those runs are just for 10-15 min. As someone who weighed more previously, you probably have more strength than some of the pencil necks you see cruising along on the treadmills at 9mph. You can probably cut back on your weight training, or even stop for a bit.

Bottom line is to add volume and intensity over the long term while watching what you eat and losing a few more pounds, which will make the whole thing easier as well. And find a good technique stroke coach if you don't swim well.
