Cardio vs. Weightlifting for losing weight

I have about 15-20Lbs of fat I'd like to lose. Currently I've been running about 2-3 times a week but I've read a few other posts implying that weightlifting can be better for dieting/losing fat. My only issue is that while at school it's very easy for me to overwork myself weightlifting which has happened in the past since I generally get inadequate sleep at least 2 nights out of the week (<7 hrs). I haven't on the other hand encountered this issue running.

My general goal is that come summer if I've been able to lose some weight and get into better "shape" I can focus more on building muscle and getting stronger.

Long story short, am I wasting my time running to lose excess fat instead of weightlifting?
