Is strength training necessary for weight loss?

Question by FunkyGurl: Is strength training necessary for weight loss?
I’m 5’7 and weigh about 155lbs, trying to get down to 135 lbs, I know thats not thin but I just want to get healthy. Currently I am doing cardio for 1 hour about 6 imes a week, but I was wondering whether strength training is necessary for weight loss too.

If yes, what kind of regime should I follow? (weights, exercises?)

Also, should the strength training be done before or after cardio?

Thanks!

I don’t have the knowledge to answer your question, but I will say something which many people overlook; that is muscle weighs almost three times as much as fat, so building muscle can make it seem like you’re burning less fat than you actually are.
