Cardio First or last?
I have been struggling to lose weight lately and I am trying to decide that if I change the order I do my workouts if that helps. Currently I am doing about 15-20 walk at 4.0 on the treadmill and then I do about 15 minutes of abs, 25-30 minutes of weight lifting, and then 30-35 of anotehr kind of cardio (usually bike or arc trainer). Should I maybe do all my cardio first and then do weights? Any suggestions?

You want to do cardio after weights for the reason Brie stated. However, I'd move abs to after weights. If your core is tired when doing weights, you can injure yourself by not supporting the lift correctly or engaging your core to get the most out of it. So do the warmup, weights, abs, then cardio.
As for the stall in weight loss, are you upping your weights (in weight preferably)? Sometimes you just need to confuse your muscles too, for example, if you normally do biceps, then squats, then seated rows, do that set backwards next time.
Good luck!
