I'm having trouble reaching the 15 pullup mark but I can do weighted pullups up to 5 fine
Is it better to keep doing bodyweight pullups until I increase reps and then start weighted pullups...
...Or is it better to just start low-rep weighted pullups now and increase them, then would I magically get free high rep bodyweight pullups?

No. Endurance and strength are different things. One can help the other. But they cannot replace each other.
Do cardio, lose 20 pounds

do one day weighted, because increasing your 1rm weighted pullup will make your unweighted pullups a relatively lower percent 1rm and that alone will allow you to do more reps
do the other day unweighted and go for max reps, because grinding for max reps is an endurance thing and also has a skill component to it

does your endurance suck in other areas? it may be your muscle fibre ratio? maybe try decreasing your rest time between sets

I'm not fat I'm just new to lifting

Thanks anon this is what I was thinking. I'll go back and forth like this after increasing my 1rm for a little while

No it's just that I'm new to pullups. I've been doing SL5x5 a while and not really anything else until recently when I started pullups again.
