Answers:
What you are doing will build and tone your muscles. That is a good thing for fat loss, because muscle workouts burn calories and fat.
But it's not the most effective way to burn fat. You need to raise your heart rate to a level that falls within 65 to 80 percent of your maximum heart rate, and keep it there for at least 20 minutes. This is called a cardio workout. For your age, that's somewhere between 120 to 160 beats per minute. You could buy a heart monitor and figure it out exactly. Or, your can just go jogging for 20-30 minutes a day, and follow it with the exercises you have listed. you'll get pretty much the same effect.
