Ensuring you eat a good amount of protein (1.6-1.8g per kg of bodymass is enough for most people IMO) will help you feel more full and maintain strength and muscle mass, and doing low impact cardio to increase your deficit (walking, easy cycling if you ride a lot anyway) helps, as does ensuring your cut isn't too big - capping it at up to 20% of your maintenance calories is a good start. and in terms of lifting maintain intensity.
Easiest and most flexible way to cut (imo) is to track everything, but some people don't like living like that, you've just got to find a way that works for you.
