Any activity will promote some sort of muscle development.

But if you pick exercises with low loads and lots of repetitions - basically aerobic, cardio exercises like treadmill, ellipticals, bicycling, running, swimming etc you get the biggest amount of fat/calories being used with the least amount of muscle development.

Does doing sit ups before burning stomach fat build muscle around the fat making it a lot more difficult to burn later?

When building muscle, you are just making the muscle fibers stronger and bigger, they arnt multiplying. The amount of muscle mass you have does not matter how difficult it is to burn fat. Fat is fat. Muscle is muscle. The more fat you have, the longer it will take to burn that off. Another thing, fat is generally burned off all around the body, not just in a concentrated area such as the stomach. If you are trying to burn off stomach fat, intense running will work better than doing situps. And if you are trying to get your abs stronger/harder, do situps using a weight to decroease the amount of time it will take


I weigh 120lb. is it ok to lose muscle and fat?

You don't want to lose healthy muscle tissue , idealy you want to lose fat and replace it with muscle. If you just cut back on food and don't burn any fat the scale may show a loss but that won't be fat that you have lost.
