by lifting light weights many times or heavy weights not many times

Increase your muscle. Muscles use much more oxygen and thus when you've acquired them your body demands more energy. When it can't get it from food alone it hits the reserves.

From a physician: Aerobic exercise will burn the most fat. Aerobic exercise is the type that raises your heart rate for prolonged periods. Examples are running, jogging or even walking 20-30 minutes a day; swimming; biking; etc.
Lifting lighter weights many times in succession will burn more fat that fewer reps of heavy weights, for the same amount of time.
Why, you might ask? You actually burn most of your energy just sitting around doing nothing at all. That's right - something like 2/3 of your daily energy expenditure occurs through your basal metabolic rate.
Aerobic exercise increases your metabolic rate; and it does so not just for the time you're exercising, but for 14-16 hours afterwards. So if you're walking, running, etc., 20-30 minutes per day, you're spending most of your day at a higher metabolic rate, and thus burning off more energy and likely more fat.

lifting weights doens't do too much for losing weight..it helps tone..but not a good idea to lift weights if you want to burn fat. You need to do some type of cardio to burn fat.

your best bet is to combine weight training at least 3 days a week min of 30 min each session with cardio 1 hr 3-4 times a week,even faster by using other weight training methods eg pump classes,cross training.
the more muscle you have the more cals you burn as muscle need more fuel..

Heavy weight fewer times builds muscle.
Lighter weight more times tones.
So, lighter weight more times.
