Ive been lifting seriously for about 6 months now, 5 days a week i do 4 sets of 8-12 depending on what i do per muscle group, alternating push days and pull days, max weight i can handle and about 30 minutes of cardio. I way about 175-180 lbs, about 6'1". I've lost about 30 pounds from when i started and ive gained some muscle mass. Right now im taking creatine but after this month of creatine im thinking about cutting. My question is, if i start cutting, will i lose any of the muscle mass i have gained from training? I have a pretty good diet, i stay away from fast foods, mornings i have 4 eggs (whites), oatmeal and fruit, lunch i have tuna or chicken with a protein shake, dinner i have meat/vegetables and try to stay away from carbs after lunch. Anyone have any guides to cutting or can somone link me one? all help appreciated, thanks.

Start cutting fat slowly to minimize losing muscle. When your cutting, you should aim to lose about 1-2 pounds a week and when you do cardio make sure your doing HIIT 3-4 times a week , for no more then 25 minutes.
