Weight Loss for Everyone: Do my macros look ok for my specific goals?

Do my macros look ok for my specific goals?

Hi everyone!

I am sick of my body and want to change it. I was 137 lbs in December (I am 20F, 5’0) and I am currently 125 lbs. In all honesty, I did lose weight in a very unhealthy way (consuming far too little calories on top of lifting 5x a week). My initial goal was to cut down to 115 pounds but now I just want to be healthier, lose fat on my upperbody (where I hold most of my weight), but also build muscle (mostly on my legs and glutes).

I calculated my own macros through IIFYM and it says I should be eating 1,500 calories, 107p/175c/45f. Does this seem pretty accurate for my goals? According to some research I did, I should be at a calorie deficit since I am trying to lose fat; is 1500 cals enough/too much for my height and weight? I do plan to work out 5x a week with minimal cardio and mostly weight lifting for about an hour each session.
