It doesn't work that way (but it's a really common misconception), fat doesn't actually turn to muscle at all. The reason many people (mainly men) tend to get a little fatter while building muscle is from a slight excess of calories, usually done delibertately to ensure you're taking in enough to build muscle mass, which can cause you to also gain a little fat on top of it.
