Sorry, but the body's first source of fuel is the food we feed it, in particular carbohydrates. What we don't use up gets stored as fat.
The next source of energy for the body is the stored fat. However, when the body burns fat, it produces ketones which is ok, but not in huge quantities.
The only way to lose muscle is to not exercise those muscles and there will be "muscle wasting", meaning that the muscle will eventually become less taught and flabby.
I'm no exercise guru, so you might want to consult a fitness trainer and a dietician.
