Track your calories and make sure your still getting the 1 to .75 grams of protein to body weight.
I found that this in combo with my lifting routine has helped retain muscle, but you'll lose a little bit of strength being in a caloric deficit.

Already on the cardio. Need to start counting the calories. I have rough estimates of what I eat versus what I burn but nothing specific.
