Cardio AND weight training with the emphasis on weights. Also, a side benefit for women lifting is higher bone density when you age, thus avoiding osteoporisis when you get older. That's why my wife started and eventually got me into it!
Cardio is short term calorie burning while lifting provides a longer term metabolism bump (arobic & anerobic). Plus, arobic is better at moderate levels rather than all out for fat burning. Lifting creates larger or firmer muscles, which are more dense and then burn more calories all the time.
The easiest thing is to use a machine circuit every other day that is availabler at most gyms and their trainers will show you how to use them and make the settings. Two trips around these with sets of 12-15 reps will work wonders after three months. Then do 20-30 minutes of cardio after you lift.
Good luck!
