First of all, welcome to the site.

Generally, it is argued that you need to consume healthy fats to be able to lose bodyfat. The concensus that as close to zero fat diet is an effective and optimal way to shed body fat is out dated and old fashioned. So in that respect, good news for you.

Secondly, cardio is not the only way to raise the heart rate in order to stimulate a fat burning state in the body. There are many many alternatives. Popular ones are taking up some kind of sport, like tennis squash or badminton (personally I play squash), cycling or even dancing. In terms of encorporating this into your weights workout, if you stick to major, compound movements like squats, deadlifts, bench and shoulder press, trying to use a good, heavy weight for ~ 8 - 12 reps (and some people argue doing even higher reps), then you will engage many muscle to work, and then also repair, which uses up a hell of a lot of calories.

I find at the end of a heavy weights session that i'm often far sweatier than I would be if i'd just been on the bike - so its possible to have a very effective fat burning session in the weights room.

For starters, can you post up your current exercise regime, your daily diet, and ideally some pictures of yourself, in order to give some really solid goal-specific advice to suit you individually.
