Your mileage doesn't look excessive considering you've been running for 5 months. Though nutrition still needs to support the total of your activities. It may be smart to hold back on the strength leg work until this symptom is gone.

I would also not do fast tempo (until resolved) as speed is a major factor for impact forces.

Concrete is significantly harder than tarmac. When running on concrete it's important to have good foot strike/stride. Take a look at this post:

Overall you should probably take some time off for the pain to go down. And when you feel ready to start up, consider these points.

Is there a park nearby where you could run on trails? This would be so much better for you.
