Workout advice; cardio and weights every day or split things up?

5'10", SW: 251lbs, CW: ~230lbs, GW: <190lbs

I've been hitting the gym hard (subjectively) since the middle of January. My primary goal is weight loss and I've lost 20lbs already so I'm happy with the progress, but I'm wondering if I should adjust my workout because my wife is worried about my knees and I'm wondering if I might see better results from the weights if I mixed things up.

Right now I'm doing the following:

• MON - Chest, shoulders
• TUE - 30mins stair machine, chest, shoulders
• WED - 30mins stair machine, biceps, triceps, back
• THU - 30mins stair machine, biceps triceps, back
• FRI - 30mins stair machine, abs, legs
• SAT or SUN - 50-60mins stair machine

The double-days are because I don't have time for a full weights workout and cardio, so I split the weights across two days.

I'm wondering if I should/there is any benefit to switching things up more like the following:

• MON - Chest, shoulders
• TUE - 60mins stair machine
• WED - biceps, triceps, back
• THU - 60mins stair machine
• FRI - abs, legs
• SAT or SUN - 50-60mins stair machine

Again, my primary goal is weight loss but eventually I'd like to focus on strength and muscle definition. Just curious if I'm hindering myself in some way by doing weights and cardio almost every day.
