Target heart rate for fat loss

I am a 50 year old male weighing 200 Lbs Height 5'11"
I am exercising regularly on the treadmill for 1 hour 5-6 days a week
Time is not of importance to me and i can exercise for even more time if required.
My target is fat losss as i have belly fat.
I wanted to know at what heart rate i should exercise for maximum fat loss ?
If i exercise at 120 BPM, i am barey starining myself and i can continue exercising endlessly and also without sweating.
However, when i push my hear rate to 140 BPM, i am sweating slightly and still breathing slightly hard only. I can easily finish 1 hour at this BPM with energy to spare.
So if if my aim is fat loss, should i continue to execrise at below 120 BPM or below 140 BPM for best results ?
Also i have read in other posts that exercising more then 60 minutes a day at a stretch does not give any additional benifit and 45-60 mins is the ideal exercising duration
Also should i do HIIT in a week instead of normal exercise to speed up metabolism ?
Thanks
