(I would like to preface this by saying that I am relatively new to the fitness lifestyle, and despite the fact that I have already searched through multiple pages of BOP fitness forum, I'm still a tad bit confused)

My question is, as a natty, what is the best way to replace fat with muscle?

I'm 5'2", and my diet is all organic. While I know that diet restrictions are a likely possibility, I am open to advice on diets that reduce body fat and exercises that allow muscle gain. Any suggestions are welcome!
