ok you need to take in less calories then you burn. so really its all in your diet....because without your diet you will not be able to lift and perform cardio with beneficial results. you need a good balance of protein, carbs, fats and lots of water while leaving out sugars and salts. starving your body will result in weight and muscle loss which you dont want.
for weights i would shoot for 8-12 range. it will help in muscle maintence as you try and shed some pounds. since you will be taking in less calories then you are burning you will not be able to gain significant mass unless you get those beginners gains. also stick to compound movements like presses and squats using those free weights.
as for cardio i would look towards a program called HIIT. do a search on google. basically its a high intensity cardio program where you work at varied levels of effort over 25 (approx) minutes.
so just eat right, do some high intensity cardio a couple times a week and hit the weights 3-4 times a week and you will be well on your way in 8 weeks.
