This will depend entirely on your goals. If losing weight is your goal, then yes, keep doing what you're doing. If its not broken, for now, don't fix it. Your treadmill work seems to be just walking, eventually you could step up into jogging and then maybe for longer distances. But an hour-ish workout is normal for both cardio and weights.

For my veggies, I generally steam them then put some molly mcbutter on them, or maybe shredded cheese.

As for watching biggest loser and such, just know that they have expert dietitians on there knowing exactly how much someone should eat per day. They have very specific training plans. Just know that those results are SO VERY FAR from reality. The results are very abnormal. That is the one downside of the show. On one hand it shows you that anyone can lose weight. But it also discourages many into thinking that if they're not losing 10+lbs a week, they should just quit. Keep it up, you'll do fine.
