24/F/Looking for Gym Advice

I started back at the gym a month ago, and consistency is paying off. However, I'm not really sure if what I'm doing is helping me or hindering me. I've been mixing strength training with cardio, but what does your routine look like?

The weight machines I have been using are: shoulder press, chest press, leg press, lat pull-down, and extended cable row. I do crunches each time I go, and prefer the cycle for cardio. Would free weight be a better option than what I've been doing? The free weight section is very intimidating so far, but if I just knew what to do, I would feel comfortable with it.

Currently, I'm not able to do squats without extreme discomfort. To put it in perspective, I started at 300 pounds (have now lost 10 pounds) so the weight on my knees is a lot to handle.

Since I lost 10 pounds, I've hit a wall. I haven't lost any but I also haven't gained any and I'm sure there must be better options. What are other routines for weight loss (that still combines weights and cardio) that don't go beyond an hour long workout?
