need advice

Hi all
I would appreciate some advice on how to customize my exercise. After having a baby (she is 3 months now), I counted calories and went from 172 to 155lbs. Before getting pregnant, I weighed 130lbs, and that's where I want to be again. Back then, I ran 3x a week for 45 minutes and rode my bike here and there.
Now the situation is different with a little one again and a husband who works a lot. I also have other kids around me all day. So the time between 6.30 am and 8.30 pm is blocked. I figured I should make the best of my limited time and do something more intense. So I started to do the 30d shred two weeks ago and got up at 5.30 to be done by the time the kids get up. Shred was good because I was home in case someone woke up unexpectedly. I like it and see changes, although my weight has remained almost the same since I started.
I would like to do more than the shred, but given my very limited time, only weights and or HIIT remain. Then again, I am thinking that this might be too much on top of 30d shred. Cardio would be good but that takes so long. I started the 30day squat challenge a few days ago. I like it because I can do it when the kids are playing happily for a few minutes. Heavy lifting sounds appealing to me, I loved toned muscles. However, I have no clue where to start.
Do you think I should just stick to 30d shred and maybe start lifting when that's over? Or do something else now on some nights on top of the shred? Do you have any idea how I could get more intensity, or do you think I should not overdo it now? I do feel that I could take some more. After the shred I am usually exhausted for a few hours but feel recovered by the time it is afternoon. I don't usually get sore, or just a little bit.

Ideas?
