Sure, looks like an Ok split to me - even though I would train Chest/Triceps on the same day and Back/Biceps on another day, as you wouldn't run the risk of having your training impaired by a sore "helping" muscle (as with the Triceps helping the chest in your pressing movements).

If fat loss is your priority, split your training so that you do cardio early in the morning, and save the weight training for the evenings. If you don't want to do both at the same day, alternate between cardio/weight days and use the cardio days as a semi-rest day.
