How do you measure your calorie intake? Using a food scale is likely to be more accurate than using volume measures or eyeballing.1

build muscle in the gym but cannot lean out
Its very difficult to do both. Consider changing your lifting to a more 'maintenance' approach- lighter weight and higher reps. Focus more on fat loss. Keep protein closer to 0.8g per lb of bodyweight. Im making the assumption that you're eating more than that.
Change daily calorie allowance to 500cal less than youre doing now.

most likely your calories eaten are higher than you record. All it takes is being off by 100 or 200. So, either your tracking numbers are wrong.. or you're eating bites of food you are not recording and thinking don't matter. Bottom line ,, you're eating at your maintenance for your weight now. You need to cut a 100 or 200 calories.0

I plateaued recently for 12 weeks weight didn't budge I was averaging 1500 kcal net after exercising throughout. it was soul destroying seeing the weight stay the same and not budge. but then body kicked into gear and I started to see the scale move. Its such a hard thing to see but you just have to stick with it and it will eventually start to see it move in the right direction.2
