What would benefit optimal fat loss is a nutrition program designed to do so, in conjunction with both cardiovascular training and weight training.

All 3 would be better than 2 or 1.

Cardio is so good for you, many benefits. What's more it works the most important muscle of all- your HEART!!!

I also believe that anything that improves the mind-body connection and ability to focus such as a good hard 30 min run will be beneficial to weight training.

at 23% body fat, I'd be doing cardio every day if I were you.

Or at least 6 days a week.

What's your current training and cardio schedule like?

Right away mate. Do everything... don't walk for 2 hours, run for 2 hours! Put your back into it and the fat will come off quick. Mind over matter. Been there, done that before. But you must also put your brain into it and have an adequate diet!
