Thanks all for the great advice. I understood the cardio and diet part, but I couldn't figure out what to do for lifting. I hate high reps so I am glad to hear I should keep going as I have been. I will throw in supersets and reduce my time in between the sets to amp up heartrate. Maybe by doing my hiit in the am and then lifting in the evening I can use the faster paced sets as a bit of added cardio. hmmm...sounds good. Thanks again all- appreciate it!

Cardio can definitely have an effect on mucle loss. With that said though, how are you measuring your bf? I wouldnt put too much stock into any home methods... I get bodpod tested in Malvern and Dexa tested in West Chester if your looking for local testing locations.
Was bf% measured within 24 hours of lifting or cardio? That will cause a bad reading ..
