If you are looking to burn fat off make sure you do BOTH weight training (particularly your large muscles like your legs - squats etc) AND cardio workout - (for example 45 minutes on the treadmill or equivalent).
If you are consistent like that 3-4 days a week, one body part per workout (e.g. chest/arms, shoulders/back, legs) and keep up the cardio you will see results really quickly.
Another really important thing to remember is nutrition. You have to fuel you body to gain muscle, but watch out for the carbohydrates. Energy bars and shakes can just fill up all the calories you are burning off. I used to love to gobble down rice and potatos and bread - all low/no fat foods, but the carbs convert right into storage - in other words: FAT.
After you are feeling comfortable and making gains in the weight you can do, then start looking into creatine and protein supplements. You'll see a big boost.
Good luck~!
