Tongue-in-cheek is a term that refers to a style of humour in which things are said only half seriously, or in a subtly mocking way

It means you say something as a joke or sarcastically but you don't reveal this when you say it. Something you're doing that you act serious about but all the while you never really are, secretly it's a joke.

Sarcastic is a little to meanspirited...
I would go with facetious --not sincere, but in a playful good natured bantering sort of way

It means "just kidding" in an indirect way. It is saying the opposite of what's true or what you mean. It is irony. It is being droll.
