Skinny Fat - will gaining muscle mass help me lose lower back fat?

Hi guys,

I'm 25m/5'9"/132lb. I have had some belly, love handles, and lower back fat ever since I was little I think. Love handle is more caused by the bone structure when I feel the sides, and belly isn't terribly bad either, but lower back fat is pretty thick on each side. My main issue I think is the lack of upper body muscle. My legs are quite strong compared to other parts of my body.

I just need some advice here. I'm in the process of bulking, but will having more muscle mass increase metabolism and let me lose some fat around waist at the same time? I think I've read on websites that you should never skip a leg day because it will let you lose fat easier at the same time because it's the biggest muscle in a body, and it needs energy. Is this BS?

I've had this love handles for so long, and no matter how clean I eat, they don't go away completely. Actually, I've been eating pretty good, and it's gotten a little slimmer because my shirt isn't as tight compared to some time ago I remember. but it's still nowhere the level I want. It has never gotten to the point where my back or sides are slim and lean, and I want that so bad.

So back to my question: Will gaining muscle mass increase metabolism in your body and requires more energy, which results in some fat loss at the same time?

Thanks.
