Part of me wants to get back to what I could do when I was 30, but that was a long time ago............LOL. Other part says get into great overall shape and whatever muscle I have is what I get...........More to come around Christmas time when I know a whole lot more at that time.

It doesn't have to be one or the other. Something that works great for strength gains and fat loss is a 3-day split so you can include cardio, the two combined are very good for fat loss and general strength/muscle gains, an example would be
Mon chest/back
Tue. cardio
Wed quads/hams/abs
Thu. cardio
Fri. delts/bis/tris/calfes
Sat cardio
Sun off
There are many variations but the above one would start each group with a whole body lift followed by one or two that are more isolation.
