If fat loss is your primary goal, lifting is substantially more effective than cardio. Lifting, your exercise burns calories and increases your ability to burn calories, and increases your BMR all at once. Cardio alone burns calories, but only for that day. When I was losing weight, I would lift and then go walk on the treadmill for 20 minutes after. I did no other cardio, just made sure I got to the gym 4-5 days a week and ate good food throughout the day so I wasn't hungry when I got home.
