If you're trying to lose weight, cardio is easily the better option. A treadmill, exercise bike, swimming, walking for an hour... those types of exercises are what you should focus on.

But remember: you can't out train a bad diet. If you eat/drink too many calories (more than you burn per day), then you won't lose weight.

Four ingredients for weight loss
1 exercise more
2 eat/drink fewer calories
3 drink more water
4 get more sleep

have you ever tried running a lot like at a park... that really helps, and also changing diet to mostly meat... I've done this before it really did bring it down

Find out your maintenance calories and reduce 600 calories from your maintenance and you won't even need a treadmill. Going high reps while bench pressing and lifting weights will make you lose weight and build "beginners stage" muscle.

As long as your diet is in check you will get the best of both worlds but eventually it won't last long. You can't build muscle on a caloric deficit and you can't lose fat on a caloric surplus.

Bench and weight. You'll get muscles but 7 flights of stairs later you'll start gasping for air like a chain smoking asthmatic bangladeshi taxi driver.
Treadmill. You'll be running marathons and swimming across the atlantic ocean but you'll look like you could use a burger.

Can't win it all with only one approach.

Strict diet and both weights and treadmill of possible. The fat will turn to muscle by weight lifting, strict dieting and cardio will help burn fat even faster

Running is better for losing weight fast. You won't build as much muscle with running though. If you can - do both!

Can always try sprinting.
Sprinters and marathon runners are built very differently , tho sprinters often do quite a bit of strength training as well.

Is your priority quick weight loss? Running
If your priority is building muscles and long term weight loss the weight lifting.
