How much cardio should i do to lose fat/weight?

I go to the gym 5 times a week, doing cardio & strength training.

i normally do 10-15 mins cardio/warm up on the treadmill ( speed walk + running )
then the other 45-50 mins i do strength training.

p.s. Any suggestions on strength workouts ( chest, back, arms, legs, etc )

    Circuit training works great to lose weight. Mixes cardio with weights. Best of both worlds. Google for beginner programs.

    You lose weight through a caloric deficit.

    Weights to maintain muscle and aesthetics.

    Cardio for heart health.

    Please find the stickie "what weight lifting program is best for me" in the fitness section. Follow a good plan.

    How much should you do? As much as you want, within reason. Exercise isn't required for weight loss, but it will make you feel and look a lot better.

    As for lifting, a good full-body program is your best bet. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10332083/which-lifting-program-is-the-best-for-you
