Losing fat is a function of having a calorie deficit. Doing high reps, eg 20 reps, may theoretically burn more calories than eg 8 reps due to the increased volume and time under tension but the effect is minimal. Lifting heavier weights is usually better for maintaining muscle mass when you lose fat.

Yea NZninja101 was spot on.
OP, are you just starting to workout recently? If yes, then is it possible to pack on muscle while you shed fat.
Look up Starting Strength or 5x5.
