Welcome to the forum.

Do 2 or 3 full body workouts per week using the major lifts (squats, bench press, chin ups, deadlift, military press etc).

Then do cardio 2 or 3 times per week seperate from the weight training. Cardio can be running, biking, walking, burpees circuit training etc.

Here are a few things that might be helpfull:
