Proving a reversed AM-HM inequality

Problem:

Given $n \ge 3$, $a_i \ge 1$ for $i \in \{1, 2, \dots, n\}$. Prove the following inequality: $$(a_1+a_2+\dots +a_n) (\frac{1}{a_1}+\frac{1}{a_2} + \dots +\frac{1}{a_n}) \le n^2+\sum_{1\le i<j\le n}|a_i-a_j|.$$

This inequality seems like a reversed form of AM-HM inequality (which states that $\operatorname{LHS}\ge n^2$). I know that Kantorovich inequality is of the same direction, but that is not helpful. I tried to apply Cauchy–Schwarz inequality, but failed.

Thanks for any help.
