Actually, this is not right.
When you lose muscle, your overall metabolic rate drops (how much energy u burn while resting). Also, muscle is the active tissue in your body, which means, it is the muscle that burns the fat...
Now, in order to lose weight primarily made up of body fat (hard to do), you need to at least keep your muscles away from shrinking, which you do by strength training. You also do cardio at a certain pace that is to be determined based on your age, fitness level, resting heart rate, etc... Can't say more on this off the top of my head.
Overall though, your routine should be fine, although you shouldn't be running 2 hrs/day 7 days/week... I'd do this 4-7 times/week up to 1 hour. More running doesn't necessarily mean more fat burn --- you can overtrain as well.
Cheers!
