During this fat-burn period, my plan to is to focus on basic exercises, along with developing my trunk more. So, my routine will now consist of bodyweight exercises like push-ups, crunches, dips and assisted chins. Before I started this whole process, I couldn't even do ONE push-up. Now, that I have enough strength to do that, I want to work on developing that more and supporting my overall bodyweight. So, very few exercises with weights, but I will definitely keep some sort of muscle-building routine.
Could you post your workout, specifically? When you say "a variety of accessory sets" it makes me picture doing more accessories than needed. Also, posting your workout could give us a glimpse into another aspect of your weight loss routine and if you are getting burnt out, we could make some suggestions to help you get to what your goals are.

Also, doing bodyweight exercises is a good thing but it will not do much in building muscle. Like Eric said bigger muscles will call for more calories, and that is what you want is the ability to burn that unwanted fat.
