Some good suggestions here.
Congrats on your progress so far... great work. I'd focus on at least 2 days of circuit training with weights and as many days on top of that doing any form of cardio (walking, intervals, machines, etc).
By circuit training, I mean light weight, high rep, low rest weight training using compound exercises. Compound exercises are simply the things that require the most amount of muscle to execute. Instead of focusing on your arms, work on pushing and pulling movements such as pushups, chest press machine, bench press with dumbbells or light barbells (for chest) and row machines, dumbbell rows, cable rows, pulldowns, etc (for back).
For legs things like squat variations, deadlift variations, and single leg work are ideal.
I'd post videos to demonstrate what I mean but this forum doesn't allow that. If you'd like, feel free to message me your email address and I'll gladly show you examples of what I mean.
The movements should be done using weights that comfortably allow you to finish 15 or so reps. As fat continues to be lost and you get more comfortable with weights, you can start working in more traditional strength training using heavier weight.
On the cardio side of things, as someone noted above, simply progress from the foundation you currently have. If you continue doing the same thing at the same intensity and duration you're going to get the same results. Ramp things up gradually. Or try other forms of cardio.
It's all about experimentation.
