Do high-repitition exercises; like swimming, Badminton, running, walking, or lift weigh with low weight. Muscle gain comes from heavy lifting (we're talking like lifting 12 reps and you feel like your arms are about to fall off). But there will be some muscle gain with ALL exercises, just not that visible when you do high-reps exercises :>

Cortisol will burn the things your body doesn't need after a workout.

To make sure you burn only fat and not muscle, lift weights in every workout. Even if it's your own body weight, you must lift and do some high intensity exercise to make sure the cortisol feeds only on fat.

Don't do steady state cardio. Lift and engage your muscles in each workout and you'll get more fat burned than muscle.

If you get up early and go for a run before breakfast, your body will burn off pretty much only fat, leaving your protein to remain as muscle. when you dont eat for a long time, like fasting, you cannot get all of the correct energy you need from burning fat, so your body starts burning up all of your protein.

so to lose fat and not protein, your only option is to increase exercise, most effectively in the early morning.

diet is very important also. the more fat in your diet, the more fat you will become. loads of veg and fruit is essential.

How do you gain weight by weightlifting?

Well if you lift weights you gain muscle right, well muscle has weight so if you gain a pound of muscle your not getting heavier your just building muscle. Bodybuilders on average weigh 200 to 280 pounds but they don't carry that extra weight in fat but they carry it in muscle. But since fat burns 60 calories a day muscle burns close to 110 calories a day so ultimately that muscle will burn all that fat you want to burn.But if you weigh 500 pounds your not extremely muscular you just fat.
