The two goals are reached by different means. Aerobic exercise is good for general health, especially heart and lungs, but it is not especially good for losing weight, controlling your calorie intake is much more efficient for losing weight than any type of exercise. Muscle bulks through the splitting of myofibrils, so in effect muscle increases in mass as a response to damage. Extreme muscle loading hypertrophies the muscle loaded. Loading of muscle is usually achieved through weight lifting or similar work against resistance. So, you need to have a relatively low calorie, but relatively high protein (to be incorporated into the extra muscle) diet, combined with weight lifting and working your muscles against a resistance until you experience a certain amount of muscle ache, do this repeatedly.
