I made an account on bodybuilding.com and I entered my goals in.

Here is what it says:p4frw3f6nzx6.png

Is there a way to burn fat and lose weight or can I only do one or the other?

    Why would you want to lose 6 lbs of muscle? Keep the muscle you have!

    Yeah, what WBB55 said. If you got to your specified goal weight and BF%, you'd be down from 113.3 lb LBM to 107.7 lb LBM.

    But, to answer your question, burning fat, while keeping (or losing, or gaining less muscle than you're losingfat - weightwise) existing muscle = losing weight. So, yes, you can do both.
