HIIT + weights is great for you, nothing wrong with that at all. as for activity, I really think you should be able to maintain your weight goals with diet alone. as you get into lifting, you will probably gain weight in the form of muscle.

in general it's very hard to lose weight and really get into lifting at the same time. it is very easy to lose your gut while lifting and eating clean, but losing weight (caloric deficit) and trying to build muscle are two very different goals.

just out of curiosity, what's your current and target weight, and how many calories are you eating per day?
