Losing fat and gaining muscle?

Hello everyone, I am trying to lose fat and gain muscle. I am 15 years old, 200 pounds and 6'1 . I am overweight I used to weigh 230 pounds and i was obese but i lost alot of weight. I still have a decent amound of fat on me but i have some lose skin in my arms so i am trying to get some muscle to look ripped. I know i have to bring my body fat down though. Right now i life weights 3 times a week for about 45 mins a session, i work chest, triceps, bicepts, and forearms. I also swim 3 times a week and run 2 miles 3 times a week. Since I want to gain muscle I eat 2,000 calories a day but there is no junk food, no chips , candy, chocolate, cake, or any sugary refined foods, no white flour or bread. So all my calories are form healthy food. I drink a 400 calorie protein shake after i lift weights, 2 cups of milk and 2 servings of whey protein. I am young so the fat should come off easy i think. Do you think I can lose fat and gain muscle if I do this or is 2,000 calories too much? thanks
Answer:
Congratulations on taking control of your obesity.
I think you are on the right path.
YOU certainly can loose fat and gain muscle.
YOu just have to remeber that muscle weighs more than fat.
SO dont be suprised if you are just firming up your body and not loosing any weight.
IT will happen for you.
You can consult a dietitian to tell you how much calories you need within a day. If you really wanna lose weight, be sure to burn off the calories you take in. I see you have an active lifestyle so no need to worry. Sometimes u just need patience coz achieving these goals isn't an overnight thing. Be sure you're milk is non-fat...
Good job! I am really proud of you i don't think there is anything else you need to do...but make sure to stay on the 2000 calorie diet...it makes sure you save enough energy with all of the work you are doing
