With the exception of the introduction of androgens, unless you've lost significant muscle mass in the past and in the midst of regaining or you're just beginning to weight train its very, very difficult. While doing so isn't outright impossible it is implausible.
IMO your best bet with this goal in mind is to track your calories meticulously and consume just below your maintenance. By this I mean 100-200 calories within your maintenance whatever that may be.kane@controlledlabs.com

well i've been strength training for the past three months and have gained great muscle mass. What i want to do exactly is maintain/gain muscle while i work the fat off. if there are any articles or anything related to this subject i would appreciate the link. i'm doing some research myself as well.

Shizzam !! Very well put
It's not impossible, just not optimal. With the goal in mind, carb cycling would be an option.

(P.S.: One of the papers cited by Aragon is: "Muscle hypertrophy with large-scale weight loss and resistance training. Donnelly JE, et al; Am J Clin Nutr 1993;58:561-565)
Good luck!
