Counting the position of ones in a binary vector

I want to design a combinatorial circuit for an fpga which will count the position of ones in a 16 bit vector. eg1 if vector is 16'b0000_0000_0011_0101 then output should be 64'h0000_0000_0000_5...

the loop index is going up anyway. for bit index 3 then output nibble = 3 if it is '1' else nibble = 0
