The recommended number of sets for muscle build, strength improvement and weight loss is similar. The main difference is the number of repetitions.

To build muscles, use a moderate weight, so you can do 4 Sets and 8 Reps, alternatively some may prefer 3 Sets and 6 Reps.

To build strength, use a higher weight, so you can do less sets and less repetitions. Recommended are 3 Sets and 3 Reps.

To lose weight, use a lighter weight, so you can do more sets and more repetitions. Recommended are 4 Sets and 12 Reps.
To build muscles - Exercise with moderate weights. Do moderate number of Reps and Sets.
To build strength - Exercise with higher weights. Do lower number of Reps and Sets.
To lose weight - Exercise with lighter weights. Do higher number or Reps and Sets.
