I am currently looking to cut some extra belly fat... (about 10-15 lbs) but also add mass at the same time... I'm a big guy and kinda scrawny.
I'm on a good diet plan (when I'm disciplined enough to stay on it) and take EpiBurn Pro as a replacement Thermo for the OxyElite Pro, also have pre workout and protein for post...
I am looking to purchase the CON-CRETE creatine as a boost to getting bigger, but I am wondering if i will be wasting my money as I know there is no true way to "convert fat into muscle"
Should I hold off on the gains until I lose first or can these go hand in hand?

When starting out it's best to just focus on improving gym performance and nailing down where your diet needs to be. I know it's tough starting out skinny fat and just wanting to be leaner but also stronger. You'll be way better off for it in the long run if you just work on nailing down the fundamentals, I know from personal experience.

As everyone's saying, you'll get much faster and more satisfying results focusing on one task at a time. You certainly can recomp to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time, but it's agonizingly slow and best-suited for when you're already relatively close to your composition goals. We're not talking "half as fast" or "a third as fast," either; you can accomplish more overall change to your body in a few months of well-executed bulk/cut cycles than you can in a few years of otherwise-undirected recomp.
As for creatine, it's a great supplement choice regardless of your current goals. Properly dosed and tolerated, any weight that it puts on is intracellular water weight -- more specifically, water sucked into your muscles. This is a very good thing, not only because it's part of how creatine exerts its little boost in endurance, but also because more water in the muscles means bigger-looking muscles -- it's the kind of weight you want! The complaints of 'bloat' usually come from people following unnecessary dosing protocols (e.g. the 20-25g "loading" phase that's still strangely recommended by most products) or the rare breed that can't tolerate certain forms (usually monohydrate) very well.[Log] Prime Nutrition Stack: bbcom.me/1Acr9Pt

Seriously just focus on your diet. Creatine wont hold water or bload you up like you think. If youre not in the last weeks of contest prep you wont even notice it.
