As long as you are consuming enough protein and calories to put on muscle, and not eating too much carbs, you won't get fat. Assuming you are working out properly.

I'm already a bit fat from not working out much since high school (grad 3 years ago). I'm not someone you would consider fat, but I do have a bit of a belly which I've developed.
So would it be best to just focus on gaining muscle and then as you said, more fat loss will result? I want to take protein shakes etc. But I don't know if my goal is to eat more calories than I do normally, or eat the same amount but just more proteins, less carbs (for the purpose of gaining muscle while losing some fat).
any help would be appreciated
thanks!
