What can I do to maintain current muscle mass for those 3 months?
I will be keeping my diet in check and making sure I don't deviate during the recovery time.
Thanks in advance!

You can maintain as much as possible by making sure your protein intake is high. I would recommend supplementing Leucine. Like take 5-10g with EVERY meal.
Hmb was shown to prevent muscle loss without exercise, and Leucine is basically the replacement to that.
So eat lots, add protein shakes daily, and supplement Leucine. That's probably your best bet in terms of diet.
You could also add "cycling" if you're willing to go that route.
How big are you anyway?
