Lift, cardio, or both?

I'm doing both and I'm loving how even two days a week doing some strength training is helping with my loss and overall mindset this time trying to lose weight. I'm certainly not building muscle all that much while I'm in a deficit, I do see that I'm less noodle armed than before. I've also had to stop cardio in the past because of a disk issue in my back getting aggravated. Building my core strength this time has prevented that issue and kept me going. Plus honestly, I may not be lifting more than 15lb dumbbells just yet, being able to not be intimidated by the thought of the free weight section is quite motivating in itself.
