Cardio will initial boost your metabolism and give you the feeling of more energy. Take a spinning class or kickboxing... something that keeps you moving for over 30 minutes!
Later, add weights. Weights will refine muscle tone and again, boost your metabolism a little more.
If you are just starting out, don't do both, it can wear you out quickly. But atleast participate in an aerobic activity 3 times a week if possible. Build from there.
And it is better to work out in the morning if you can. This gives you a burst of energy to start your day, and you end up burning more calories throughout the day.
Oh, and make sure you eat breakfast. It's a very common mistake. Never skip it!
Good luck =)

Exercise, cardiac 30-45 minutes each day 5 times a week. You might want to get evaluated for sleep apnea.

do both. do lots of squats, though. alternating days would be fine.
diet is crucial. is your diet correct? are you getting b vitamins at the right time of day?
