How to approach cutting while rehabilitating from injury?

For about a month ago I did a bad squat which resulted in some minor bulging of a disc in my lower back. I went to a physiotherapist to have it checked out and get some advice on how to avoid further injury. I have now recovered to the point where I can start going to the gym again.

Most of my lifts will be back at my old numbers pretty quickly but my squats will have to start very light and progress slowly to make sure I have perfect form at all times.

So here's my issue. Most people say that during a cut you should keep lifting heavy to maintain strength and muscle mass. Will cutting during my rehab period result in significant loss of strength and mass in my legs even though I can potentially train high volume with lower weights?
