Gains... Muscle or belly?

I've lost almost 60lbs through diet and moderate exercise over the last 8.5 months. I've started to bring in a strength program lifting weights and I am STRUGGLING to eat at a deficit.

I'm a 5' tall woman and I'm trying to stick to protein, veggies and low carbs. I'm trying to eat "clean" with whole foods. I've been doing really well and not very hungry until I started lifting. I'm doing three days a week for now. I'm increasing my calories to allow for the extra activity but any days I'm lifting in the gym I am ravenous. I would like to lose 1-2 lbs per week. I'm fairly active and somewhat strong but still 177 lbs with a higher body fat percentage. I would like to continue steadily losing fat while maintaining or gaining muscle.

Any tips to eat healthy, work out but still maintain a healthy deficit?
