If you never/barely lifted before you started, you're going to go from fat to skinny fat to possibly just skinny when you're 70kg. It's very hard to build muscle mass on a calorie deficit. Especially a huge calorie deficit. 4 kg in one month is a lot.
I went through a similar journey. I started out 168.2 lbs @ 5'6". Ended up 126.4 lbs in <8 months. With a <2 month diet break. Granted I only joined a gym in the last 2.5 months of that cut. I had 15 lb dumb bells at home that I used occasionally before then. And I had no idea how to write a good workout program in those days. And I wasn't getting my protein. But even with optimal nutrition and training, you're not going to build much muscle, if at all, losing 19 kg in 6-6.5 months. Your strength will improve (like mine did) due to neurological adaptations to your lifts. But no one is going to know you actually lift.

If you are fat or skinnyfat, it's probably best to eat at calorie maintenance while you lift. So that you can actually look like you lift. The downside is that it takes a long time to see results from maingaining compared to cut and bulk cycles. My body composition absolutely did improve after a 8 month cut (including a diet break), a 9.5 month bulk (including maintenance periods and mini-cuts). And being in the gym consistently for a year. But its possible that I could have progressed just as fast or even faster eating at maintenance while getting my protein in compared to what I just did.
