It's all about feeding the furnace. The energy required to replenish muscle tissue is greater than the energy required to simply stave off atrophy. Becaues the OP isn't wishing to 'lose weight' (and actually seems to want to gain it) a program centered around cardiovascular fitness probably isn't for him. Something that gets him in better shape while making his shape more aesthetically pleasing (to him) is probably the better course of action.
You won't accomplish anything without both, though.
