Just keep training. When you do pushups, do them explosively. Don't do the exercises slowly. Do them as fast as you can. Same with any other exercise. That will help.
Remember that the power in Muay Thai comes from your hips. Use your hips when you punch, kick, knee, or elbow.
If you have questions on specific techniques, let us know.

I do about 5-10 pushups everyday (yeah i know thats pathetic but thats about as much as I can do) for about 3 months but my punches still feel the same

Keep on punching. Work with your Kru.

power and speed come from being relaxed. all motion starts from the hips. your hip snaps forward and your arm or leg whips out from there
pick one technique and focus on that for a month, then add your next technique and focus on that one for the next month, and so on

practice more. listen to your coaches. for speed i would recommend adding plyometrics to your exercise. if you go to a good gym they should have a strength and condition program

Here's a formula to remember "technique + speed =power" what it means is that if you make sure your technique is excellent & you have good speed the power will come naturally when you use your technique. For speed you need to build "fast twitch" muscle {not large bulky/slow muscle} so do sprints, jumps, skip, water resistance training/swimming, lots of reps with low weights.. there are more but these will help to start with. A technique hint {apart from Kokoro's hip start, which is also very good advice} is for the majority of kicks..where the knee goes the leg will follow. So point/aim your knee at the target/height/direction you want & the leg/kick will go there {slight adjustments of angle etc will be needed for different kicks} this you can practice slowly at first until you get better at it & then it will start to flow naturally {note there shouldn't be any noticeable pause from knee aim to kick, once you master the technique}
