The 1.4-2g/kg of bodyweight is right. So for 150lbs that’s 95g-136g of protein a day. If you are wanting to lose 10lbs and put on muscle then you are kind of fighting a bit of a losing battle. It’s possible but not optimal. You either want to build muscle then lose fat or, lose fat then build muscle. That’s because you need to be in a calorie deficit to lose fat but in a surplus to build muscle.
Personally I’d go for the build muscle first then when you get to a place you feel comfortable with your gains you can go on a fatloss cycle. Be in a calorie deficit. All that nice stuff.
Eating regular meals with protein is more optimal but your overall protein intake is the most important factor. So ensure you eat enough protein in the day and lift weights close to failure and you’ll build muscle. When in a fatloss phase carry on doing this but be in a calorie deficit to lose the fat. By training and eating protein you will be able to maintain your muscle.
I hope this helps
