i need personal trainer/fitness guru advice on my workout!?

I have lost 30lbs and want to maintain it. I am going to hawaii in a few weeks and want to be in top shape. 3 days a week i run 30min in the mornings on an empty stomach and then later in the day i lift weights. 3 other days of the week i do a spin class in the afternoon (either right before lunch or late afternoon) and then will do some yoga or pilates during the week. i eat tons of fruits vegetables and do not eat carbs after 3pm unless it is natural in fruits or veggies. Is this an ok plan or is there ANYTHING i can do to step up my game?

My back is so undefined and flabby, how do I tone it up so it looks bony?

I already do ballet, Pilates and run regularily and lift weights!! I have a fairly balanced diet….

How do I get my knees to stop aching after exercising?

I lift weights, do tons of squats,lunges, yoga, run a bit, step class, elliptical stairs, etc. Nothing too, too strenuous. Recently my knees have been very sore, especially climbing stairs. Do I need to build up more leg muscles? Should I just admit I’m getting old (42) and tone it down a bit? I don’t want to stop my fun routines but the aching is slowing me down.
