Lifting actually does help loose fat a lot. IMO better than running and other stuff, although you should balance both. And its not bad for your heart if you do it correctly.
Lifting helps you lose fat cause muscle needs more calories to sustain itself than regular flacid tissue does. But eventually it WILL make you gain weight, once more, because muscle weighs more per square inch than fat does.
And it doesnt matter how you do it, lifting heavy weights DOES hurt your heart.
I used to be a kinesiology major in the local university and I learned all the dirty secrets professionals (in the kinesiology and medical fields) dont want the public to know.
Weight lifting champions and professional body builders (i know several) need to constantly have their heart checked up.
What happens is your heart (as in the muscle) gets stronger, bulkier and harder as any other muscle in your body and there for your ventricles get smaller, this makes your heart HAVE to pump faster (more times per minute) to get the amount of blood your body needs out into your veins. Since it has to pump more times it “wears out” faster.
By “running and other stuff” I take it you mean aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise is actually better for your overall well being than anaerobic exercise (like weight lifting) because it makes your heart more flexible which enables it to expand much more and get a lot more blood into each ventricle. This makes it so that your heart doesn’t have to pump that many times per second to get the same amount of blood out into your body, which of course means a lot less “wear and tear”
