Wonderful progress Stingo.

As a matter of fact, it's better to do the Metabolic Overdrive right after your weights since you're still in the midst of things and motivated enough to do it.
Just fuel your workout with either carbs-only, carbs+protein or protein only, depending on your nutritional 'religion'. My vote goes to carbs+protein as this has been proven to give the best results. It will keep cortisol low (the nasty stress hormone) and fuel your workout much better. If possible take a small 5-10min break between lifting and HIIT and drink the majority of the carbs/protein before the HIIT-session and keep some of it for afterwards.

I'm thinking that doing Metabolic Overdrive on separate times might give better performance, but won't give better recovery or result in better fat loss. Doing them together will minimize the burden and give more time for recovery.
