Losing weight versus losing fat

I selected for my challenge a particular bugger of a goal. I want to get down to 10% bodyfat...I don't care what my weight is. Since I am questioning whether or not this is actually read, I feel fairly safe in spewing my ignorance, and whining for a moment. If anyone reads this please add your thoughts because I am not sure what I am doing.

I have lost about 5% of my body weight, but I am not sure if I am losing fat or muscle. How does one know, other than paying for the test? Do I need to make more focused changes other than "Working out and eating less"? Doesn't everyone really want more muscle and less fat? It should not be this hard.

Whine is done. Suggestions are welcomed.
