The fat-loss argument between cardio and weights is a false choice. They do different jobs and the best programs combine them.
Weights preserve lean mass during a calorie deficit. Muscle drives resting metabolism and shape at any body-fat percentage.
Cardio (walking, cycling, running) adds direct calorie burn and improves cardiovascular fitness independently.
2× weekly full-body strength + 8,000–10,000 daily steps covers most people. Add a longer weekend cardio session if you enjoy it.
Set a target and let your training work with it.
