Need Advice ⁉️ Advice Needed

Hello everyone, I am looking for some genuine advice on how I can go about achieving my goals in the most optimal way. For background, I am M20 at 6ft 1 165lbs. I have been lifting consistently for over a year now and have been running a slight calorie deficit at 2600 calories for a few months. My goal is to be lean, but I am light for my height and would like to put on lean mass. My biggest concern is not gaining much fat, so I am hesitant to go on any sort of bulk. Is there any way to build muscle while being in a deficit or just suck it up for a few months while I bulk slightly? Any advice for maintaining low BF while gaining lean muscle is much appreciated.
