Weight training to prevent muscle loss?

I'm currently trying to lose 20 pounds of fat, I've cut back on calories and have been losing 2 lbs a week for 3 weeks so far (i was originally 156 and now 150). I understand that 2lbs a week is more than the recommended 1lb loss per week but nonetheless 2lbs a week is still considered "safe". I have also been weight training about 2-3 times a week but nothing too serious, only more of a small "pump" for the whole body. But is this enough? worst case scenario for me is i drop 20lbs but half is fat and other half muscle. How much do i need to weight train to maintain ALL of my muscle mass? Should i weight train everyday or is 2-3 days a week good enough? and how hard should i weight train?

Edit: I do not want to gain any more muscle mass yet, i only want to maintain my current muscle mass for now
