The hardest thing to do in fitness is losing fat while gaining muscle mass.
You didn't delve into how much you weigh/want to lose, but one idea would be to lose the weight first for a couple weeks, then start strength training. For fat loss to occur, you have to have a caloric deficit (1lb fat = 3500 Calories). For gaining muscle mass, you usually eat a lot. It's quite a conundrum indeed.
One option:
Do cardio (swimming, biking, running) 6 days/week while watching what you eat....carefully. Invest in some protein powder (OptimumNutrition is best), and make a shake before you workout and then drink it right after. Cut your fat intake and Calorie intake and do this until you lose the fat you need to.
After 3-4 weeks, begin your strength training.
Post back with some more specifics and I will be able to help you more.
