Torn between adding muscle and calorie restriction for longevity

I consistently conflicted about how to approach the second half of my life. On one hand I hear a lot about caloric restriction being a key driver of longevity. On the other hand I hear about maintaining muscle mass as a key driver of longevity. For me it seems to be one or the other. I'm naturally lanky and caloric restriction seems to prevent me from gaining much strength/muscle. When I ramp up my calories I can put on some muscle but then I'm not getting the benefits of caloric restriction. How should I think about this from a longevity perspective?
