Why don't you let your pp.x of QE to calculate the charge density
difference. How to do it? Well, see the description of PLOT namelist
here:

You are the only one that can possible know the answer, because you know
how you obtained these values. I may only presume that they are some,
say, charge density values inside the DATAGRID section. Otherwise, the
XSF's datagrid format is described here:
