Say they are 220 pounds at that, and have 176 pounds of lean body weight, minus all the fat. At 10% bodyfat with all that muscle they would weigh 198 pounds.
SO they diet and cardio hardcore, but still natural down to 198, but they are still 15% fat. They have lost 8 pounds of muscle with the 14 pounds of fat they lost, and that is if they are doing eveything smart natural. It is very easy to lose muscle dieting natural, and most certainly do not gain anything.
Now if the guy is even on a small dose of test, say 200mg EW, for a first cycle while cutting, they may not gain a ton of muscle, but being that in most guys that is 2x or more the natural level of testosterone, they may actually not lose any muslce at all, and even gain a bit while cutting.
They will more quickly lose the fat getting down to 10%, and maybe even have more muscle at the end, and at the least not have lost nearly as much muscle while cutting.
