Weight Loss and Exercise?

I am a 6'3" male previous weight of 315 lbs, I am now 278 lbs and my question is, during my diet and exercise I am wondering if it is possible to be gaining more weight in muscle during this time while still losing fat? I am losing inches but not total weight which has me thinking that. My diet is from the book Shred by Ian K. Smith and I am exercising five days a week with treadmill walking for 40 to 60 minutes and upper body workouts including weights with sit ups and stretches. Thanks for the input.

    This is very common with people trying to lose weight. They see that they are looking better but the scale isn't showing any changes, or in some cases shows that they've gained weight. Keep in mind that muscle weighs 3X more than fat. This is the reason your scale isn't showing any difference in weight. I say ditch the scale and trust your mirror, it will never lie to you. Keep it up!
