Welcome to the forum, and well done for getting motivated again
After such a trauma to your body the most important thing when getting back into sport is to listen carefully to what your body tells you.
There are no hard and fast rules to start with except take adequate rest between training so your body can get used to it's new regime and build strength gradually, at it's own pace.
You're leg may feel fine but when you put the strain of running though it it needs time to adjust, especially as it has been pinned.
That's good advice from SE but I would take it easier to begin with... no more than 3 runs per week, separated by rest days. Given what you are doing at the moment, you could do maybe two runs of 30 mins and one of 40 during a week. If it's too much your body will tell you. You don't want to be aching at this stage...just bringing your fitness back up.
I wouldn't run twice a day just yet or you could be setting yourself up for injury.
Increase your training time very very gradually over a number of weeks.
You might even want to think of a long term goal to keep you motivated. Perhaps a 10 k later in the year, or a half marathon in a year's time.
I can understand that you don't want to diet... diets rarely work long term anyway. The answer is to eat the right foods. Look at the fat content and aim to reduce it as much as you can, with the odd treat now and then.
Eat plenty of protein, which the body uses for growth and repair of tired muscles etc. Watch your carbohydrate intake too, have enough so you have a store of energy but not too much. Eat plenty of fruit and veg, or if you fancy something with chocolate on it choose a chocolate coated cereal bar.
Drink plenty of water, it will help you drop weight and ensure you don't overeat.
Hope all this helps
Good luck
