Fat loss VS muscle loss?

Hey all!

Photos:
Pics of me

Here’s my stats to go off of:
-5’4, 153.8lbs, 26F
-I do 2-3 full body lifts a week. On work days (4x a week) I get 5k-6k steps. On non work days I get 2500-4000 steps a day
-My bodyfat % is about 35% based off of a calculator (no tools or scans)
-Aiming for 1550-1650 cals & 100-115g protein a day

History:
-Did an accidental bulk for about 4 months
-Unfortunately got extremely ill and had to stop the gym for 1.5-2 months

Now:
-I’m wanting to lose body fat and preserve as much muscle as I can. I have NEVER done this before.

Question:
How do I tell if I’m losing fat and not muscle?

(I’m AWFUL at visually seeing slow changes in my bod. I have some body dysmorphia sadly so it’s hard for me to notice what’s actually happening. Obviously I know if I’m losing weight due to the scale but I don’t want the weight loss to be from a lot of muscle you know?)
