What should I be doing?

I am using the 5x5 app and I am at 170 for bench press but I am trying to cut weight, I know you cannot bulk if you are cutting weight. So should I be doing more reps at lower weights to tone my muscles rather than lift heavy?

Keep doing what you're doing so you can continue to build strength and retain your muscle mass as you lose.1
