How do you lose fat and maintain muscle?
Mainly do cardio to lose fat but maintain muscle, bare in mind that doing only cardio will eventually lead your body not doing enough resistance training and to much endurance so you get the long distance runner look and you muscle definition will deminish. So you need to add resistance to your cardio by doing weights. weights will tear muscle fibers and when you rest your body will make these torn fibers bigger and stronger to cope with the load your lifting, doing little weights (40% of what you can lift only once) but lots of reps (30-50+) give toned look were as heavy weights (70% of what you can lift only once) but little reps (about 8-15 reps) will build muscle. On a side note the more muscle you have the more energy you burn as it increases your motabolism, eat the right amount of protein to maintain your muscle growth too.

You can build muscle by working out parts of your body like lift weights or use any kind of resistance that causes tension in your muscles and you loose muscle if you don't eat enough because your muscles need calories to burn and you also lose muscle when you go a real long time without working out.But it's not tension that builds muscle, it's OVERLOAD.
How long do you have to lift weights to become buff?
Since you do not want to damage the growth plates on the ends of your arm bones and leg bones, you would be better off lifting every other day with weights that you can do for 20 to 50 repetitions before exhaustion. It is important not to max out your weight, but for bulking up, you do want to lift to exhaustion, that is, the point at which you strain with all your strength but cannot lift the weight any longer. BE SURE to warm up for 15 minutes with light weights and 30-second stretches before you start with serious weights!!! Keep the muscle moving or rub it to avoid lactic acid buildup (shich causes sore muscles), then do another repetition to exhaustion. Finish with a third rep to exhaustion, or until you muscles feels "pumped up". Warm down with much lighter weights long enough to move the lactic acid out of the muscles, say, 10 to 15 minutes or longer. An hour per muscle group is plenty at age 15.

Also it can make you have undeveloped bones!
