Here's your plan my friend. I assume you already know how to cut at 1 lb per week and eat enough protein and keep lifting. You won't lose all that much muscle on a cut if you do that so I've just put zero muscle loss. It might be 1 lb or so, but not much.

I'm also assuming you know how to bulk and lift. You will probably be capable of 1.5 to 2 lb muscle gain per month so that's what I've used. Mileage varies, but your plan could look like this.

When you get to the end of the bulk, cut for 3 or 4 weeks and you'll be cut pretty good.

Only issue here with this cut plan is that assumes no LBM lost in 12 weeks, when in reality you will lose some say 2-4 lbs would be a good estimate over that time frame/weight loss. This would put you in the 13.9 to 15.5% range at 153, not 12.6% as shown in the chart
