too much cardio?

so, i've lost 15 lbs so far and am about 10 from my goal :] I've lost all that weight by basically subtracting about 500-750 from "maintenance" caloric intake and making sure that my "net" calories stayed there. It's about 1500-1250 calories, so if I eat 1700, I burn 200-400. If I eat 2000, I burn 500-750, etc etc.

Only issue is, I've been losing a lot of my chest area :\ and was clicking around when I read something about "too much" cardio and how it's burns a lot of fat [duh] and that fat might end up being taken from the breasts area.

My daily work out is "hike" walking (uphill and quickly) for about an hour and a half. Burns about 600 calories, since I usually do 5-7 miles. Would it be better to run for 30 minutes instead [I am capable of running..just lazy]? Mix things up by stregnth training a few times a week? Should I eat the "loss" about of calories and stregthn train?

Help! lol
