    But if you build some muscle you'll lose more fat....

    It's quite difficult for you to lose fat and build no muscle at all. That losing fat is not just cardio! You need to eat well and also do
    Some strength training

    If you're truly gaining weight (as opposed to water retention), you should re-evaluate your calorie needs and your intake. The chances of you gaining muscle while not participating in some resistance training is pretty slim.
