Simple Noob Question

Im 6 foot tall and 195lbs. Not in the best shape, but not in the worst. I've been working out for 2 weeks now and lost 5 lbs. My goal is to be at around 180 and a lower body %.

I dont know my current body fat %, but i will in 3 days.

My question is, since muscle is heavier than fat. I am doing cardio and lifting and situps.

But if i keep lifting, will i gain weight? I dont want to gain more weight than i currently am (195). I want to lose about 15lbs., but gain muscle. Or can i keep lifting and doing cardio. I also began eating a lot healthier. My major goal is to be able to take my shirt of in public, i have a small gut and some love handles, which i hate. My upper body (chest ,arms and shoulders) have muscle but some falb over them , not too much. Basically with a shirt on , i look healthy , but when i take my shirt off im pudgy.
 
if you take in more calories than you burn, you'll gain weight. try to concern yourself with losing bodyfat, not bodyweight. go by your bodyfat %. strive to hang on to as much strenght and muscle as possible. :)
