First, you're going to get neuromuscular adaptations - your'e going to get GOOD at lifting without actually getting any muscle mass (or very little.) You will also be losing weight. Hopefully this will carry you until you are at a lower body fat percentage. At some point, you just can't get stronger without putting more meat on. When you get here, evaluate your body fat and decide if you want to continue to cut, or bulk. I would guess you at about 22% bodyfat.
