IRA Distribution / Rollover to Roth IRA - can it offset regular Investment losses

Last year I had $63,000 in short-term capital losses in my regular investment account.  I now have a carry forward loss of $60,000 to offset any future short term gains.  I'm currently 60 YOA.  I have an IRA, 401K and a small Roth IRA.  Is it possible for me to rollover $60,000 from my traditional IRA into my Roth account and use the carryforward losses from my regular investment account to offset any taxes?  Also, would I have to wait until I'm 62 or could I do it this year.
