i am 5'4, 137 lbs right now. before i started training i was 120 lbs with 12% bodyfat, but it is down to 8% now. i still have some fat to lose, but there isnt that much. should i worry that doing cardio and dieting will eat into my muscle more since i dont have as much fat? or will it just burn the fat to muscle ratio the same as it would before? kind of hard to explain, but if you understand what i am trying to say, reply.

Well, first of all, how do you know your BF is 8? Are you male or female? What supps are you taking, if any? Based on your post, you're saying you gained 21lbs of lean muscle?? How long did this take?
I need more info to answer correctly, but yes- you do run the risk of burning muscle when your BF gets that low, because it has less nutrients to use for energy. It's almost inevitable that when you do a cutting diet, you will lose muscle.
