Keep on doing your HIIT but switch it up with some long slow endurance pieces from time to time.  This will not only add some variety in your fitness regimen, but also help develop another important segment  of the fitness equation.  The benefits you get from HIIT are different from long slow endurance. Great to hear your priority is to be healthy!  It's one that many people forget and neglect.   Keep on doing the strength training - they will tone you and/or build muscle (depending on how you train) but they wont spot reduce fat. Good luck and keep sharing your success with us!  It's good to hear :)
