Losing fat and gaining muscle?

Hello everyone, I am trying to lose fat and gain muscle. I am 15 years old, 200 pounds and 6'1 . I am overweight I used to weigh 230 pounds and i was obese but i lost alot of weight. I still have a decent amound of fat on me but i have some lose skin in my arms so i am trying to get some muscle to look ripped. I know i have to bring my body fat down though. Right now i life weights 3 times a week for about 45 mins a session, i work chest, triceps, bicepts, and forearms. I also swim 3 times a week and run 2 miles 3 times a week. Since I want to gain muscle I eat 2,000 calories a day but there is no junk food, no chips , candy, chocolate, cake, or any sugary refined foods, no white flour or bread. So all my calories are form healthy food. I drink a 400 calorie protein shake after i lift weights, 2 cups of milk and 2 servings of whey protein. I am young so the fat should come off easy i think. Do you think I can lose fat and gain muscle if I do this or is 2,000 calories too much? thanks

  3. I'm not a lifting or training professional but one thing I did notice that you didn't specifically state as something you work out was your abs. When I played football in college we devoted 15-25 mins of every 1.5 hour workout to abs. Your abs get a workout doing otherthings as well but they are a core muscle group in your body and you use them when doing lifts for all the things you mentioned above.

    They may not directly cause you to get the ripped look you're going for but they will help you build muscle mass faster as you'll be able to lift more weight with stronger abs.
