I would say 5 times a week should be a maximum if you want to maximize results, and 2 times a week a minimum to maintain low body fat.

Honestly, cardio and weight training should be in separate sessions, if not possible, do cardio after the weight training, so you can maximize your weight training and use that available energy from your previous meals to lift with less rest time between sets and with more intensity and then do cardio to burn off the rest of energy you have and start burning fat, if you do cardio first you will have depleted your energy sources and then lift tired, besides breaking down muscle during your lifting session for energy.
