Best Workout?
I'm 22, 5'2" female, about 125 lbs. I want to lose 5-10 lbs, hopefully by June, and I want to gain muscle. I was wondering what was better, to work one muscle group longer one day a week, or do a full body workout 3 times a week (so Chest/Shoulder/Tricep on Monday, Legs on Wednesday, Back/Bicep on Friday....or work the whole body three times a week). I really want to see results.

Fullbody split. Still split different movement types up, but work both upper and lower body each workout day. Requires more "conditioning" and increases metabolic activity because you're working a lot of disparate muscle groups in same time period.
Split is only a small piece of the puzzle though. I would read the training stickies on how to design programs for an idea of what else you need to think about.http://www.getlifting.info

Look into HIIT. See if you like that. If you do like that then stick to a full body routine. Also shape up your diet if it isn't already in good shape.

Full body 2-3 times a week, using alternating supersets with parts far apart from each other, like:
Snatch Grip Deadlift
Dips (Do one set of deads, rest 60 seconds, one set of dips, rest 60 repeat for a few sets, for each superset)
Squats
Chinups
Side Lunges
Ab Circuit
Throw in intervals, boxing/any sport, some sled dragging and a good diet and you're set.
