    Start lifting ASAP. You'll thank yourself for it in the end.

    Start now. Cardio burns some great calories and is good for your cardio-vascular health, but nothing changes your body like weight lifting does. It's never too early to begin. Find a good progressive program and work it in 3 or 4 days a week and you'll be amazed at the results.

    Nice work on the weight loss, keep it up!

    Definitely start lifting. I recommend yesterday if not sooner. You are off to a great start. Just stick with it and before you know it, you will look back and be amazed at what you have accomplished.

    Maybe you can incorporate both? Lifting and a little cardio for extra burn

    Starting a weightlifting routine with your cardio routine will help you burn even more. Plus weights will really help reshape your body in the long term if you start at the beginning of your weight loss journey.

    Definitely do weight training and lots of compound movements because your body will still continue to burn calories after the workout is over. Weights first, cardio, then abs if you are pairing them same day :D
