Hi!

First off it's hard to build muscle and lose weight because muscle weighs more than fat so don't worry so much about the scale. To answer your questions:

1: something that raises your heart rate. hmmm...like running, stairs, aerobics,etc.
2: reps are the number of times you do a movement and sets are the number of times you do the reps. so if someone says 8x3 they mean to do it 8 times take a short break, do it 8 times again, take a short break, and 8 more times.
3: you shouldn't have to work out much more than 1 hour a day to get good results. It about quality not quantity
4: that depends on your fitness goals, but you can ask questions about diet in the nutrition forum and if you post in critique my training, people will help you devise a good workout.

I hope that helps and welcome to DB!
