yes first weights because when you weight lift you burn alot of calories especailly if u have a lot of muscle then when you do cardio you can maybe burn some of that fat off

Since you're looking to lose weight and tone up in opposed to "bulking up", I would warm up with 5-10 minutes of light cardio before your workout. After warming up, workout whatever parts your looking to tone (use light weights and 3 sets of 20)... After finishing your workout, conclude it with about 15-20 minutes of cardio... Do the lifting about 3 days a week, but do cardio 7 days a week. I'm saying 7 days a week because you want to lose 124 lbs. in less than 8 months, which may be a little unrealistic and unhealthy for you, but your diet must change drastically to achieve your goals.
