You can do it if you train only one muscle group per day, with the workout lasting perhaps 45 minutes. I did this for a while and got pretty good results...BUT, and it's a big but (so to speak), I wasn't trying to lose weight at the same time. I was allowing myself to eat whatever and whenever I wanted.
I wouldn't try weight training 5x/week on any less than maintenance calories, and probably not on LC at all.
