If I were you I would probably find my love for power lifting again and start training for it. Along with that I would add HIIT (high intensity interval training) into your weekly regimen. It's really popular currently and for a good reason, it works to burn fat very well (its working great for me currently too). Example: any type of cardio done to max intensity for 30 seconds then 90 seconds of lower intensity, do that cycle 5 times when you first start (should take you 10 minutes) and progress to about 7-10 times as your body increases tollerance (should take you 15-20 minutes). Sprinting works really well yet you do have to be in fairly descent cardio shape to do that, stationary biking works well if you are just getting back into things. But as you can see you could really use any type of cardio methods you are more comfortable with as long as you stick to the cycle and guidelines. I would do HIIT three times weekly. I don't know what kind of routine you do as far as weights but try to perform HIIT on days you do not train weights and/or days you do not train lower body. If you train HIIT on the same day you do weights (upper body) then I would space the HIIT and weights training as far apart in the day as possible. If your schedule is not that flexible, then simply due HIIT after your weights. That would be a good start as far as training goes, I think the real work is going to be in the nutrition section. The nutrition forum on this website is excellent you should give it a look see. I don't know what dieting experiences you have ever had but basically, keeping track of calories and your protein, carb, fat ratio is going to be essential. I know this is the part where a lot of guys turn away but it seems complicated and it is a little at first but you'll find it starts to get a lot easier as you do it enough you remember what is what in certain foods. A good tip about nutrition, eat natural whole foods (beef, poultry, fish, veggies, fruit, natural peanut butter). You are going to want to start putting some water down the hatch as well.
That should give you a running start, hope I helped, just for extra clarity, check this out (your routine could be totally different from this but just giving a quickie example:
