Weight Lifting Vs. Cardio???

Started MFP 12/27 I have lost almost 30 lbs since. My "routine" consists of 1600 Cal a day, running on the treadmill 2-4 miles 3-4 times per week. It is working well, however I would like to begin building some muscle (more tonning than anything). I realize that muscle helps burn calories so that is part of it, the other part is I have some flab (moobs, love handles, small spare) that I would like to burn off, and have been told that muscle building will help speed that up. (not speaking of "spot training" as I know that doesn't work). This is the work out plan I was looking at but not sure if it is enough / to much / should I add a little more cardio... etc... your opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks
