Hey there
What kinda of exercises are you doing with the free weights?
If you don't want to plateau, its probably not the cardio that will stop you from doing it. Not just that anyway. You will need to change your diet and weight training routines as well.
I lost 25kg (56lb ish) in the last 4 months without any cardio. Granted, it is baby weight and breastfeeding helps, but still! All I've used are kettlebells, mainly 12kg, sometimes 24kg. I too gain muscle easily but with kettlebells I've never 'bulked' up as such, just lost a lot of flab and toned up nicely.
