Toning now is really important. Muscle is more metabolically active than fat. So what that means is, the more of your body composition is made up of muscle, the more calories you need, even at rest. So if your not eating the calories, they have to come from your fat reserves. So toning whilst losing weight makes sense.
Also, if you build muscle, whilst the scales may not show a loss, you will look slimmer and go down dress sizes quicker. Take me for example. I got down to 199 at the beginning of January. I haven't lost a pound since then. But I have dropped a jeans size.
if its just numbers on a scale you want to see, then drop the weights, but if it's serious life long body changes you want, keep up the weight training.
