Colin Wilson hooked home from a corner to give the Fifers the lead in six minutes.
However, they were pegged back in 13 minutes when Lochee were awarded a penalty when Scott McComiskie was felled in the box. Bryan Deasley took the spotkick and duly despatched it into the net.
Seven minutes later, the Bluebells took the lead when a fine through ball from Connor Birse found Deasley and his cool finish gave the hosts the advantage.
They then scored a crucial third just on half-time when Birse knocked in a cross at the far post.
Apart from a string of bookings, the second half was a bit of a non-event, with Lochee content to hold on to their lead.
