I am currently cutting.everyday after work i go to the gym to lift weights for 30 min and dont ever really do cardio as i walk alot for my work.so i decided to wear my pedometer to work and back yesterday and today and yesterday just from going to work and back i walked 8.94 miles or 18933 steps and then today i walked 10.21 miles or 21618 steps.is that enough cardio per day or do i have to add cardio at the gym??

That's good if you're not an athlete, but otherwise you've got to get your heart rate up.

If you're goal is to just lean out and shed fat than it's more than possible to do that just through resistance training and proper dieting. However, if you are involved in any sort of athletics I would suggest doing at least some cardio work.

when cutting, there's no question to add cardio in the gym.

Perhaps adding 10 minutes of HIIT would be fine
