What workouts should I do besides cardio?

I am a mailman who walks 25-30 thousand steps a day, which equates to 14-15 miles. I've lost 18 pounds since I started eating healthier and doing more cardio at the gym. However, I'm not sure of other workouts to do when I'm there, and I feel like I'm overdoing cardio with my job, and then again at the gym. I'm looking to lose another 80 pounds, so I'm not looking to solely add muscle right now.

So what other workouts should I start doing besides cardio?

    You could do lifting. Light weight, high reps typically burns calories. It doesn't really add muscle. Typically high weight low reps add muscle. I play football and we typically dont do the high rep stuff unless we are fighting fatigue. But we typically dont increase muscle mass during the high rep, low weight exercises. I hope this helps.

    You could do ab work. You could swim laps...
