Well then you probably aren't gaining an amount of muscle that would cause your weight loss to slow.
You might have just hit your first plateau. Your body adjusts to the increased activity and to the activities you do. Instead of working out more you should put some thought into modifying your workouts.
Maybe more weights? Or increase the weight you currently lift. For cardio, you might think of switching up for a while- maybe try tae bo, or the elliptical trainer, or a step class.
