A few months later but I wonder how it went for you.
I started also a diet plus gym (first time ever at a gym) and I am starting with 20/30 min cardio then I'll repeat it before leaving gym. Usually I'll exercise at least 1hour.

I can't comment on how much you should do, but here's what I do:
Mondays 4o minutes cardio. (incline walking)
Tuesday: 20 minutes weights (chest, by's & trys) 3 sets x 8 reps), 20 minutes cardio
Wednesday : 40 minutes cardio in Arc Trainer
Thursday: 20 minutes weights (abs, back & legs) & 20 minutes cardio (elliptical)
Friday: 20 minutes steady cardio, followed by 20 minutes HIIT cardio (30 seconds flat out+90 seconds recovery).
week ends rest.
I'm 64 male, joined the gym last August, (258 lbs), I'm 231 lb today, with target of 225 for 1st week in March 2018.
You will notice I don't run : I've had a total knee replacement, the impact is not allowed!
The weights on Tues & Thurs is to maintain muscle mass.
I used MyfitnessPal app to track my calories & exercise (from my fitbit) to maintain 500-800 calorie deficit each day.

It's a very hard question, to anyone especially to the beginners (like me about 1 year ago). I agreed with @mddolson but I think you should try by yourself, trying is the best way you can do because everyone is different. Remember your weight loss will depend always on two things: your diet and your exercise routines.
Good luck!
