I'd skip the cardio; it's overrated for both heart health and fat loss. Your best bet would probably be anaerobic conditioning type exercise. Workouts where you go real hard, stop to catch your breath and repeat and you do a lot of total work. Examples would be interval training on foot, bike, heavy bag, etc. Sprinting, mountain biking in sufficiently challenging terrain. Play basketball at a high level of intensity. Circuit training with weights or calisthenics.

Check out some of these links for examples. Don't just look at the workouts but consider the concepts they share and what they have in common then design your own workout based on your individual needs and resources.
