Is this a good routine for weightloss?

I used to do weights and cardio on alternating days, but I've decided to do both on the same day. Now, I do around 15-20 minutes of weights (I honestly don't keep track of the time, but it's around there) and 40-45 minutes of intervals on the treadmill (5 minute warmup at 4.0, then alternating intervals at 4.0 and 6.0) every weekday. I also eat healthy and I try to increase my fruit and veggie intake. I've also a vegetarian and I've cut back on dairy products.
I'm 5'6" and I'm around 127-129 pounds and I want to lose around 5 or so pounds. Of course I've recently switched to doing cardio and weights everyday just a few days ago. And for those of you around my weight/height, how long until you saw visual results?

You make no mention of calorie intake. No routine will work if your diet isn't where it should be..0

Are you tracking your food?
When you say weights, what are you actually doing? Machines? Isolation exercises? Compound barbell work?0
