Here is everything I can think is important to add - give me your best advice, once I set a plan in place I can certainly stick to it, Im fully motivated and ready just need to know where to go

Hi, I'm Katy - I'm 26 years old.
I'm 5'11 and currently 198 pounds (27.6 BMI)
I was 237 pounds 8 weeks ago when I gave birth to my son
I have strong legs and weak arms (can do lunges all day can't do a push up to save my life)
I also have a 2 year old - and I do not have access to a gym.
I want to lose 40 pounds

Workouts must be done at home, but I can buy some equipment if needed ($200 budget)
I've only ever done cardio, never done any type of weight lifting

I have either 1 straight hour a day (5 days a week) or three separate 20 minute sections (5 days a week)

I have a kettle bell, running shoes, and a yoga mat - but have access to things like milk jugs, or even tractor tires?

Should I go with cardio or try some kind of at home weight program?
Or cardio 3 days a week and weights 2 days a week?

If you suggest weightlifting, please suggest something I can do at home
If you suggest cardio, what is your best bet - Zumba/running?

I, of course, want to lose the weight quickly, so that is my first goal is the 40 pounds down - then I will work on the next goal

I will answer any other questions needed and THANK YOU in advance

You have lost 40lbs in 8 weeks. That is a fast rate of loss unless that is a pregnant weight (water+baby)!

Set MFP up to lose 1-1.5lbs a week. Do whatever exercise you will be consistent with. Only you can decide this unfortunately.
