You need a deficit because you've got a few kg of fat. But you are lifting weights so you dont want to do a hard cut and lose motivation or impact your workouts. I'd suggest a 250cal deficit until you reach about 77kg. Then eat whatever you need to maintain and keep working out hard. You'll could look good in 6 months.
