Do you guys do much cardio to burn the fat or stick with mostly lifting? I'm sure the combo of both is ideal but I'm not sure yet what mix yet.

Over the past couple of years I've come to the realization cardio is not that great for fat loss. I use a sled for my "cardio". I don't consider it cardio because it is more performance based, rips through fat and it builds a ton of muscle in your legs. Plus doing sled work has increased my aerobic work capacity tremendously, and I only do it 2-3 times a week. I would consider adding it to your workouts.
And you can do it very cheaply. I'm lucky my gym has one but I also have one at home that I made out of a tire that I got from a nearby autoshop for free (from their recycle pile). Put some weights in there attached a chain and got down to it. I sometimes use a rope instead of the chain but either can be had for under 10 bucks.
