Weight loss

[jyounger]

Hi Mark. I'm 37 years old. 6'4" and 300lbs. Started the novice LP 8 months ago and made good progress despite being in CA and enduring 2 localockdowns. Currently doing:
Squat 440 for 5's
Deadlift 585 for 5's
Bench 290 for 5's
Press 225 for 5's
When I started LP I was 265lbs so needless to say Ive put on some weight. I realize you can't make gains in a calorie deficit, but Is there a way I can trim some bodyweight and hang on to my current strength levels?
