Lose pounds == lean meat, fiber, low carbs such that calories in < calories out.
Add muscle == pick up heavy shit, put it down, repeat.
EDIT: Eat Carb -> Do Work -> Eat Protein.

Caveman bros didn't eat whey dust gainstacker megaflex 9000. They ran after deers until the deers fell over dead. Then they ate them. Ate some of the grass right there too. Then went to the river for a drink of water, oh, a fish! Bash it with a rock and eat it too.
Pick up some tree logs to make a fire. Man these things are heavy to drag back to cavehouse. Muscles burn, body makes water from skin. Grunt. Do it again.
Friggin ripped-bros.
Then club cavebroad over head and make cavekids.
All for free-ninety-nine.

Fuck that macro nutrient this and that, you want a calorie deficit if you want to lose fat. Amount of calories you ingest has to be less than what you spend. That's the only way to lose weight. You need to know how much calories you use:
Calorie Maintenance Calculator - Daily Calorie Requirements
Read up. All if you want. Good info to be had at this link.
Don't drink before sleep, when you sleep you don't do shit. Do you drink a pepsi before going to bed? Same shit. You don't need energy when you sleep, your newbie gains will take care of all of the complicated stuff before you don't gain anymore.
Drink pre-workout and post-workout shake. Pre-workout ideally more carbs than post-workout. You need carbs in both, carbs take the protein to your muscles. The shakes count in your daily calories.
I'd write more but I'm swamped at work now, maybe later!

My preworkout is C4 and I was taking ON until I ran out.</p>Regarding "preworkout" such as C4, it's only caffeine and vitamin B for the most part. That's why you piss yellow. It's not the best thing in the world but it can help have a more intense workout. It does not really help in gaining/losing anything and you can go without it. In that sense, a preworkout shake composed of carbs and protein is more beneficial.
In your case you want to lose weight (fat), muscle will build itself no matter what as long as you have a sufficient amount of protein in your diet so the calorie deficit is your goal. Don't judge yourself by the weight alone, muscle weighs much more than fat per volume. Take a measuring tape to yourself and write that shit down every week or two.
You might have seen this, it's a true thing:
Always weight yourself in the morning first thing. Don't bother with comparing day with the day before, fluctuations are normal (hydration for instance), you want to look at the average. It's going down? It's working. It's steady? Your calorie deficit is not big enough (error in calculating calorie maintenance lvl, everybody is different).
Enjoy yourself mostly and make working out something in your schedule that you do not derogate from. Think of it as taking a shower or brushing your teeth, except it takes more time.
3-4 times per week is the optimal number of workouts. If you're new to working out, search for compound exercises that target multiple muscles at once for the best effectiveness. No use working on your forearms alone... this is shit for the pros.
Don't do too much cardio. Weight lifting can be safe and more effective than cardio alone. Girls will often run for 45 minutes and lift for 10 because they don't want manly arms... this is not how it works. They end up with very little muscular toning in their upper body.
Bodybuilding is a world in itself and there's so many misconceptions, always doubt everything.
