You need to make sure you're eating in a caloric deficit. Gaining muscle and losing fat can't be done simultaneously. Typically people think they've gained lean muscle when they're losing fat because their muscle is now more visible. However, adding muscle mass requires a caloric surplus. Losing fat requires a deficit. Typically, you're looking at 12xbodyweight for fat reduction in terms of cals. You can drop it to 10xbw if you're not progressing. Ensure you get adequate protein, as well, which is about 0.75-1g per pound of bodyweight.

I hate cardio, but I have been adding more cardio because I have some fat to burn still. I lost some weight and becoming muscular (WHICH I TOTALLY LOVEEEEE!!) I'm just afraid to cut my cardio and not being able to burn the fat. :( When you say HEAVY, what % of increase from what I'm lifting now? 5%. 10%? I'm not afraid to lift heavy, as long as I don't get hurt!! :) I'm ready for the weight... but I need to burn fat if I want those beautiful muscles to show!! :) Any advice?

If you ...It really depends on what your goals are. If you have physique goals (ie you want to look better naked), you do need to cut down on your cardio. It's muscle-wasting and is counter-productive to physique goals. More of your time should be spent hitting the weights and liftng heavy. What is "heavy?" It's relative, here. You should be taxed at the end of every set you do.
