you sound like me when i started, now the pullups are great do them at shoulder width, with palms forward for your back, but also try and do them with you hands facing toward you aswell, we call these chinups, they work your biceps mainly, very effective, just keep at these and try to increase the reps you can do over time.
pressups: do these SLOW with PERFECT FORM on handles or dumbells
i do wide grip ones 3seconds down and 3 secs up for 15 reps
then shoulder width 3s down and 3s up for 15 reps
and close grip for triceps for 8 reps
you can also put weight in a rucksack and drop the reps down to 8 for all of them(or as many as you can, at least 6 though)
squats are good, well done glad your not neglecting legs
as for situps, try crunches, and leg raises: lie on your back, hook your hands under your sofa or whatever you usually hook your legs under, point your toes out with your legs together, and raise both legs together slowly, keep doing these for 15 reps maybe 3 sets just targets your abs in a different way and really does burn, good luck
