You have too many supplements.

Take some type of carbs before to have energy and maybe some creatine for strength. It won't keep the muscle on directly but indirectly because you are supposed to be lifting more.

Just make sure you eat enough for your activity level and try out intermittent fasting. Your window could be around the time you workout so you have plenty of fuel.

There isn't anything magic about nutrition and working out. Eat enough to give you the best possible outcome and make sure the fuel is appropriate for the need.

You can build muscle while burning fat but it will be slower than bulk/cut routines. I'd suggest always doing the long way anyway.

Lift heavy. Don't be a pussy because it's hard.

My supplement list:

Whey Protein Isolate
Creatine Monohydrate
BCAA 5000
Pre Workout (C4)
Fish Oil
Niacin

They're just supplements. I'm not expecting great results from them on their own, but I am seeing improvements in strength and stamina while my recovery time has been reduced as well.

I lift by myself at the gym, but will go just heavy enough to not require a spotter. I rarely max out because it fricks with my next lift, but I understand that's a good way to make gains. It just doesn't suit me well because I like lifting on my own in the range of 5-10 reps for upper body, and 10 or more reps for legs.
