Now, my questions derive from whether or not I should first lose the excess fat first and then work on gaining muscle? I heard it isn't possible to do both at the same time, so should I burn the fat first with a good diet and cardio 4-5 times a week? Or should I try to put on some muscle first?

Ok you are talking about by summer time. that is not a nough time to properly bulk then cut what i think you should do is get your cardio in with your workouts by makeing your resting time less or superseting for example say you are doing legs you could go directly from leg extention to leg curls then take a small break that is one set. get your diet as close to perfect as possible. i would consume a lot more protein than normal so that you dont loose muscle mass.take in a little bit more carbs than normal so that you have the energy to get through your workouts.
