Losing weight, do a cut?

I've done program since December and have been making good progress, but I need to lose weight. I'm 38m 5'9 and weigh 270lbs. My weight hasn't really changed since I started the program, so I assume I'm hopefully converting some fat to muscle.

Would it make sense to maybe deload and keep lifting the same weight for a month or two to focus on diet and keeping calorie deficit? I really like the simplicity of lifting program but find it hard to reduce calories when increasing weights every session. Would lifting for maintenence instead of gains be good for weight loss? Is there an option for that in the app?

I'm generally a beginner for lifting and see terms like cuts and recomp thrown around but not really sure how to do them..
