Lose fat while gaining strength?

Hi,
I am a pole dance instructor with very good strength and muscle and 20-ish pounds to lose (will re-evaluate along the way). I would like to lose fat without sacrificing the strength that I've worked so hard to obtain, and still progressing and getting stronger. Is this an attainable goal? I'm currently hovering around 170 lbs (at 5'10") and aiming for 20% of calories from protein.

A slight deficit should do the trick. Since pole dancing is a form of strength training in itself, add in a day or two of 10min sprints.
Sprint 15-30s, rest 2mins, wash rinse repeat.0 -
Slight deficit, adequate protein and keep training intensity the same.0
