Please critic. Currently on a 3day split, thinking about going to a 4day split, as I find it difficult to hit shoulders and legs in the same day.
My overall goal is to lose 10lbs of bf by May 30.

All exercises are standardized to 4 sets. 3 of which are declining pyramid, then 4th set is back to 12-15 rep range.

legs, Shoulders, Chest and Back are all 3 exercises.
Biceps and triceps are 1 exercise.

Im currently in the gym 3-6 days per week.

Monday: Legs and shoulders followed by 15-20 minutes cardio
Tuesday: HIIT 20-30 minutes
Wednesday: Back and Biceps followed by 15-20 minutes cardio
Thursday: HIIT 20-30 minutes
Friday: Chest and Triceps followed by 15-20 minutes cardio
Saturday: HIIT 20-30 minutes
I say 3 - 6 times per week as I dont always go on the HIIT days.

Im thinking about:

Day 1: Chest, Triceps, cardio
Day 2: Back, Biceps, Cardio
Day 3: HIIT (or rest)
Day 4: Shoulders, Triceps, Cardio
Day 5: Legs, Biceps, Cardio
Day 6: HIIT (or rest)
Day 7: Rest

I guess my question is, will lifting weights 4 days per week as opposed to 3 days per week improve my weight loss by any amount?

Depends on diet
