Fitness Discussion

Hello!  My goal is to lose some fat and tone up my muscles.   I've seen people argue for both of these ways so I was wondering which would be better to reach my goal.   Should I lose fat first then gain muscle, or gain muscles then lose fat?   I've heard it's easier to lose weight if your muscles are strengthened but I would prefer to lose fat first so I was wondering which would be better?  

Sorry I'm new here and I just wanted to get some opinions.   Please let me know your experiences!

Muscle gain then weight loss, or other way around?
