How do I stop from losing ab thickness when I cut?

I seem to have good ab thickness when I am bulking. I am able to see them through the fat and they look solid but when I cut they sort of "deflate" and I end up having more of a swimmer's core.
Any advice on how I can retain thick, bodybuilding abs when cutting?
