How to burn fat without losing muscle?

Hi! I am 19 years old. 5'11 and 161 lbs. I want to gain weight in muscle so I want to weigh around 181 lbs. My body fat is around 16 and I want to go down to 9%. How am I supposed to gain muscle in weight and burn fat without losing muscle? How many calories should I eat daily? Should I focus on high protein but decrease my calorie intake? How much cardio should I do to burn the fat? Sorry for the confusing question but I don't how to tell this.

    Cardio, strength training and eat a diet high in protein and complex carbs.   Cut out the highly refined carbs. 

    You will only lose muscle if you don't eat enough.  Not everyone is going to build He-Man muscles.
