I am 5 feet 8 inches 152 lbs and I just started a 3 days a week weightlifting program. I am looking to gain lean muscle. I am not looking to get jacked but I do want to have a nice body so how much cardio should I do?
With 3 days of weight training, only do 2 days of cardio. If you want to gain good amounts of lean muscle, you have to have good rest and recovery time. Giving yourself 1 day of weight training rest between workouts and 2 days on the weekend is best to gain muscle. It also will depend highly on how much you’re eating.

That depends on your diet and what your fat intake is like. Even when developing lean muscle with the increased demand for protein and nutrients you are still likely to put on a little fat. Purely for health benefits I would recommend at least 3 times a week for 30minutes. Once you are well under way with your training routine adjust accordingly depending on how you are looking.
All the best!
