Default 'getting bigger and smaller at the same time'

I love lifting, but it's not my main deal - as someone's probably guessed from my handle, I've been lifting heavy to get ready for my senior wrestling season. Right now I weigh 213 lbs. - from 186, so I guess I've added some respectable mass. Unfortunately I've got to cut down to 189 for the season, so it doesn't look like I'll be able to eat as much as I'd need to for the DFHT 5x5, which I was planning on doing for the fall.

Basically, though, my problem is that I'm not too experienced in this sort of thing: how to lose fat - I want to show up in-season (Nov. 28) at maybe 197 or so - while continuing to add muscle mass, if I can hack it. So is there a way to balance this, and still get caloric excess while losing fat? I've only really looked at the "add mass" side of things and never had to lose fat while I was doing it.

Any help would be much appreciated. (Oh, and the title is taken from one of the stickies, just to say that yes, I did read all of them, and the golden nuggets of Pendlay knowledge therein.)
