That running (and other cardio workouts) is what's going to help you lose fat and become lighter, so keep it up. Around 2-3 days a week should be sufficient (you should leave a day in between intense runs). And if 5km is what feels intense for you, stay there for now. Raise the bar if you feel you need to/can.

And don't worry about your calves. They're big because they're powerful, so they'll help. There's nothing wrong with them being larger than others'.
 
If you're wanting to lose weight, I'd suggest adding a sprint routine into your running program. 2-3 times a week go for short distances, 100-400m and 4-8 repeats with 2-3 minutes of rest in between. This will decrease your body fat % and allow you to gain more lean muscle mass.
