I mean yeah you can gain muscle without bulking as long as you dont eat in too much if a caloric surplus

 

[abdalla.maxx]

Yeah but I wanna lean down first without losing any muscle, does this just mean eating less calories and more protein until hitting the desired bodyfat? If so, what do i do next to gain the muscle

yeah if you eat enough protien(about .8-1g of protien per lb of bodyweight) you shouldnt lose any muscle while in a caloric deficit

It's called body recomposition. You burn some of this excessive energy and turn it into lean muscle mass.
