    You need a surplus in calories to build more muscle. It's hard to build muscle and lose weight at the same time. Nonetheless -- You should (in my opinion) incorporate some sort of weight training with exercising. Resistance training is great. Here's why! The more muscle you have in your body, the more calories your body will burn throughout the day. So in effect by building muscle you essentially increase the rate of fat lose! ;)
