That won't lead to muscle gain. That's the real problem, in order to gain muscle you have to take in a LOT of calories (I do in excess of 3500 and sometimes more than 4000 a day during hypertrophy periods).
I suppose it's possible to do both, but I can't do it and I've never worked out with anyone who has. After a period of muscle building I'll inevitably have some extra fat that I need to work off (now the metabolic effects of increased muscle make that pretty easy to do).
Lowering your caloric intake while attempting to gain muscle almost never works.
