In your case, the capital gains that arise is the short term capital gain, therefore in that case, exemption u/s 54, 54EC and 54F are not available to you.
Yes, you can take the deduction from the total income in respect of repayment of principal amount of housing loan u/s 80C but subject to a maximum of Rs. 100000 and also claim loss from self accoupied house property by the payment of interest amount to housing finance limited upto a maximum of Rs. 150000.
