Its great work that you have lost so much bf already but we need some more information really.

Like, your stats (Age etc), Training history (How long you been doing it!), your diet etc etc.

Simply put you cant gain muscles AND lose bf (At least not at any appreciable level) so you have to do one at a time. As for stretch marks.... we all have them to some degree and there is no easy way to avoid them!
