I recommend doing your weight-lifting first, followed up by cardio, then you can hit the sauna. But remember the importance of pre-workout nutition, and PWO nutirtion. Since your goal is to lose weight, i suggest after you workout(after the weights and cardio) have a PWO meal/shake filled with high protein and carbs, this is highly important.
Yes, due to the perspiration of your workout+the sauna, it is important to rehydrate your body with lots of water.
If losing weight is the issue, especially in the midsection, you can't spot-reduce a certain point of your body. Your best choices, is to do cardio, for overall body-fat reduction, and to eat healthy, plus you can do some crunches while your at it.
Nutrition wise
-Remember to eat breakfast, high in complex carbs (oatmeal, whole-grain cereal), and protein(egg, milk), to keep your metabolism going throughout the day.
-Drinking caffeine can actually help burn fat.
-Im not sure about the "eat 5-6 meals" a day, but try to eat more, but in small portions throughout the day. This might seem odd, eat more? Actually yes, eat more to keep your metabolism going, to help burn the calories as the day progresses.
-Basiclly to lose weight, its all about the calories. Combined with excercise+healthy dieting. (Includes the veggies and fruits, for the nutrients and fiber)
-Drinks LOTS of water.
