Nice lifts! Without PEDs your best option imo would be a very slow cut! Start with around TDEE - 250 calories. Nothing aggressive. That will be a 2lb loss per month and I can't imagine your lifts will go down much. I'm currently on about TDEE - 750 calories and my lifts are only slowly decreasing.0

Keep protein high, keep lifting intensity high. Take maintenance breaks.0

When I started to cut, I was TDEE -250, lost 20# BW over the next six months, added 30# to each of squat & bench. Totally doable, just keep protein high.0

Take a look at the Renaissance Diet (I found it on scribd). Talks about diet periodization (cutting/bulking) It's an easy read not too technical.0
