you may find this useful:
Longer duration, lower intensity aerobic exercise tends to impact muscle growth
negatively and has less of an effect on fat loss. Though you may burn calories, this type
of aerobic exercise derives the majority of the calories burned from lean tissue and less
from fat. This is exactly what you don't want.
To minimize cardio's negative effects on muscle growth you must schedule your aerobic
sessions as distant in time from your weight training as possible. This means DO NOT do
both cardio and weight training in the same workout. Don't do cardio immediately before
you weight train and don't do cardio immediately after you weight train. This is how most
people do it and it's completely wrong and detrimental to optimal muscle growth.
Your cardio exercises should be done approximately 8 to 12 hours before
or after you weight train. Never do cardio immediately before or immediately after your workout.
This means if you train in the morning you do your cardio at night. If you train at night
then do your cardio in the morning. And to take it a step further, you should preferably
do your cardio on your non weight training days

if you do what the article says you will still be able to lose weight, get fit, and gain muscle. if you wanna gain some muscle i would post your diet in the diet section, as your diet is very important to muscle growth
