Hey guys :)
I'd like to start working my stomach/abs/legs/glutes/arms as well but not sure how to go about it.
I've been using 10lb weights and doing cardio most of the time.

Any exercises that work those areas?

    There are so so many! Could you afford a personal trainer? Even just one session would give you so much information :-)

    Losing fat anywhere on the body is more to do with a calorie deficit than any particular exercise. With that said the fat will burn off from wherever the body decides. You can not control this and it usually comes off in the reverse order it went on.

    To lose "weight" put your calories in a moderate deficit. Notice I said "weight". To make sure the majority of your weight loss comes from "body fat" you will need to do resistance training. Muscle is very expensive to maintain, calorie wise. If you do not convince your body that the muscle is necessary it will get rid of it. This can look great on the scale but is terrible for body composition. This site is full of people who reach their weight loss goals and are not happy with the way their bodies look. This is usually do to excessive calorie deficit (from severe dieting or excessive cardio) and no resistance training (lifting relatively heavy weights).

    I would recommend heavy strength training where you focus on weight lifting and not on cardio/circuit style routines that focus more on calorie burns
