Read this entire thread but couldn't really find an answer. Mostly talking about reducing calorie intake below your maintenance calorie to develop visible abs.

But is it possible to build muscle and lose fat at the same time (one require calorie surplus the other require calorie deficit) Sry if this sound silly.

Not impossible but generally it does not happen, and when it does it usually happens for new trainees/overweight trainees.

I see, so the idea is to gain some muscle first along with fat and then lose the fat.

Yes.
Unless you are overweight to begin with.

1. You are still a beginner. Beginner gains still apply.
2. If you want to grow, find your TDEE and eat on a surplus;
3. If you want to lose weight, find your TDEE and eat on a deficit.
4. Only you know how comfortable you are with your own body to decide whether you want to bulk or cut. There are some physiological recommendations (w.r.t nutrition partitioning) on this aspect but IMHO it is secondary to how comfortable you are with your current state.

Unless you are bulimic. Then we wouldn't trust your judgement.
