Simultaneously gaining and losing?

Hi! I just downloaded this app today and I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a good macronutrient ratio for gaining muscle while still losing fat? (if that's possible)

I recently lost 80 lbs within less than a year (from august 2015 - may 2016). Now, I want to build more muscle, I'm doing strength training for 2 hours a day, 6 times a week (aside from 1 hour cardio everyday) but I'm hesitant to eat/have a calorie surplus because I'm afraid of gaining back the weight (from fat) that I worked so hard to lose. Hope someone can help! 3pg0qw2m8tpv.jpeg

    First of all congrats on your amazing transformation you are truly an inspiration!..... Do your research on gaining is my advice I don't know much only little on this subject I do know that eating a lot of protein is good but I don't know quantities as I'm still just trying to lose lol but I have heard bits and pieces along the way go check out Fit Men Cook and live lean T.V on YouTube I watch for workout and meal ideas but those channels are also geared more towards those who want to build muscle hope that helps
