I have read conflicting studies on the subject so any links or expert opinions would be helpful.

Yes. A pound of muscle on your body burns more calories than a pound of fat on your body, even when you are just sitting around.

Yes! Muscle burns several times more calories while even at rest than fat. But you have to keep the muscle toned- that’s the key.
