Yes, cut calories until you are no longer gaining weight, continue training, add a little cardio,avoid rapid weight loss. You will have bodyfat test in january; if you weigh say 71kg at say 20%bf and over the next 2 months, come down to 69kg at 17%bf, you will be a little leaner than you were and a fair bit bigger and stronger. At this point, you can think about where you want to go. If you want to get back into endurance sport, further weight gain is counterproductive. If not, you may wish to do another gain cycle.
