You cannot target specific areas to burn fat. It's not a myth. If your body was able to do that then there wouldn't be such a huge market for cosmetic surgeries like liposuction, stomach and ass tucking.
What you are suggesting is that by adding to a muscle group it will give off the appearance of having lost fat because there is more lean mass present in that area. But you'll still be fat. Muscle does burn fat, but once again. The body burns fat as a whole and wherever the fat reduction occurs, the order is based entirely on genetics and gender.
And there are different types of fat tissue. Some can be lost with diet and exercise and others simply don't respond to that. Like Adipose and Breast Tissue (gyno)
