Do workout first then cardio after. Better results overall.

you cant spot reduce thats a fact. So NUTRITION is #1. Calories in<calories out= net wt loss try this NO pop/beer/hard likker/whitebread/addedsalt/sugar/energy drinks/coffee of any sort for 3 weeks. Cardio and overall body work out 3 x a week compound exercises. Low cost you can do it at home if you set up a bar in the garage or basement to do chins and dips etc

do compound exercises; this includes push ups/chins/dips/crunches/hanging straight leg extensions.

always warm up with a little cardio before work out, monitor heart rate you want around 130-140 for the time you are treadmilling, dont suddenly stop you got to start off slowly /peak then slow down over your cardio session....5 -10 mins to start 20-30 to finish.

Your welcome. It is ok to do 5-10 minute light warmup cardio and 5-10 minutes of stretching after your warmup cardio before you workout with weights. If you do too much cardio before weights you will have already pre exhausted your muscles so they cannot perform max effort in your lifts and you have also used up some of your glycogen stores that your muscle cells need to recover between sets with weights especially heavy weights.
