I would like to make the image subtraction as accurate as possible, thus I think that image subtraction should take place after the psf of the frames is matched.

A dirty trick you could try:

Compute the Fourier transform of both images, calculate phases and amplitudes from the real and imaginary parts of the transforms. Then substitute the amplitude in one of the images with that from the other. For the one you changed: go back to real and imaginary form, then compute the inverse transform.

The reason this might work is that the Fourier amplitude has most of the PSF information, while the phase has most of the information about the scene.
