Person who hasn't done a pull-up wants to start taking fitness seriously

Despite not having done a pull-up, playing sports has kept me relatively in shape. however, none of that is outwardly visible. I want to change that by first losing a bit of excess fat and then build up a bit of arm muscle, develop abs, and also develop an exercise routine that'll make sure i'm in great shape for a long, long time. Is this routine that I cooked up with the help of chatgpt alright? I know next to nothing about working out and wanted something to build off of. How many days would it take to start seeing visible gains so that I know I'm doing things right, and what changes would you make now and in the future as I progress. No equipment at all if possible please. When I say run, I mostly mean jog for 30 mins at a time.

Run, dips (3x10), crunches(3x20)

Australian pull ups (3x10), Leg Raises (3x12), Plank (60sec x 2), Mountain Climbers (1x20)
