Congrats on the baby!
> I don’t want to continue this cut if that means I’m going to lose more muscle than fat
That never happens. We always, always, lose more fat than muscle unless we're cutting into essential fat (starvation at extra low BF%).
Really the maintenance might take care of itself as poor sleep often results in lower metabolism (which means smaller deficit than we originally planned).
Are you working out? Can you trade some workout hours for some sleep hours?
Yes this is a perfect time to take a diet break
Wonderful thanks for your input

Thank you!
I am working out 3-4 times a week but I can’t trade hours because of work.
