Look at the difference in volume between 5 pounds of muscle and 5 pounds of fat. Sure, they may weigh the exact same but they are not the same size.
Muscle takes up less space in your body and is metabolically active, burning fat from your... body even when you are sleeping.
When building muscle, you can be getting smaller inch-wise and still weigh exactly the same weight-wise. However, the more muscle you have, the more fat your body will burn, so you'll eventually be dropping weight as well.
