sounds like a lean bulk / maingaining, which involve a small calorie surplus, with a high protein intake and resistance training.
What you're doing right now sounds like a recomp - small deficit / maintenence, high protein, resistance training.
the only thing you haven't mentioned which is important to the goal you've mentioned is some kind of resistance training. Bodyweight / weights / whatever, but the body won't prioritise the maintenance or building of muscle without adequate stimulus.

Thoughts welcome!
My weight is going down consistently (measuring weekly). I'm about 1.75kg down in a couple of weeks.
I don't have loads to lose to be honest - the goal is essentially to maintan current wait but change my body composition: fat-> muscle.
Thoughts on the best way to reduce fat and add muscle without going down the BULKING route?
Is what I'm looking for called a lean bulk? I know nothing about this.
I'm counting calories to a small deficit (hence the weight loss),consuming 150g-200g of protein a day, eating lots of fruit and veg.
Am I overlooking anything? Should I be focusing on anything else?
