Why are you doing 3 different machine exercises?
What are you doing for your weight(strength) routine.

You'll lose weight if you're in a calorie deficit.
Which at 1950 of accurately tracked calories you should be.0 -

I used to do three different machines some mornings because I couldn't stand doing the same thing for very long. I also wanted to change up my movement a little. Not saying this is why the OP is doing it, but I see valid reasons for it is all.0 -

Short answer: You will probably lose weight if this is your routine.
Long answer: The gym routine is all wrong if this is your 'daily' routine, because:
- Why a cumulative 45 minutes worth of cardio, on three different machines? Just pick one.
- An hour's worth of gym time every day is kind of excessive, although there are people that do it.
- You're not supposed to do weights every day, only every other day (i.e. Monday, Wednesday, Friday). You need to give your muscles adequate recovery between lifting sessions. If you're lifting every single day, you're either not lifting heavy enough or you're risking serious long-term injury.
- High intensity interval training is preferable to steady-state cardio.
In other words, your routine should look more like this:
Monday/Wednesday/Friday: 15 minutes cardio warm-up on machine of choice + weight training (find a beginners lifting program and stick to it)
Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday: 5~10 minutes of cardio warm up + 10 minutes of high intensity intervals (sometimes I don't feel like HIIT and I'll do steady-state cardio instead, but the point is that these days are just "cardio days" where you don't lift any weights)
Sunday: Rest day, don't do anything.2 -

I'm not saying there's not good reasons to do 3 different things. Exercise ADD is a thing. But If left untreated, it leads to aimless wandering and little progression.

There's no reason not to lift every day, especially as a beginner.
IF you're an intermediate lifter, perhaps every other day is appropriate, but for a beginner, nothing wrong with every day... also... most competition lifters lift every day... They don't lift heavy every day, but they do at least 2 of their 3 lifts every single day.

There's no reason you can't lift everyday. I train 6 days a week.1 -
If you maintain a caloric deficit you will lose weight. How you achieve that deficit is up to you. You can exercise your #$%%s off and still have a caloric surplus and gain weight.0

I would rather run several miles a day outside than be on a machine. I don't think 45 minutes of cardio is enough for a good burn.1

Also, and since I forgot to say it earlier... If you're going to do 75-90 minutes with 45 of that being cardio, there's no good reason to do it all at the beginning. There's a preponderance of information that indicates that doing some cardio before and some after a moderately heavy... not actually heavy.. lifting session increases benefit, and may reduce recovery time and DOMS occurrence.1 -
you lose weight in the kitchen.
Look there for results.1 -

Let's apply a little context here. OP is presumably a beginner and didn't describe what his training routine is, so it's near impossible to "diagnose" whether what he's doing is optimal (or even effective) for him. And what a rank beginner should be doing bears no resemblance whatsoever to what a competition lifter should be doing.
Lifting every day? May be appropriate, may be completely useless, depending on what he's doing and what his goals are. But with that said, no reputable trainer I've ever seen would generally recommend a 5 or 6-day "bro split" for a beginner. Even something like a push/pull/legs split is usually geared more toward intermediate lifters.
As to the original question - if you're eating less calories than you expend on a consistent basis, you'll lose weight. If you're eating more calories than you expend on a consistent basis, you'll gain weight.1 -
