Weight Loss for Everyone: Calculating my TDEE wrong?

Calculating my TDEE wrong?

Hi All,

Im unsure if ive been calculating my TDEE wrong.

I've used variety of calculators, and im unsure if i should be writing down active or sedentary.

Current caloric intake is: 1700 - 1800
Macro's: 128 (Carbs) 60 (Fat) 150 (Protein)

My starting weight was roughly 195lbs/88.45kg in April.

I've lost 20lbs in 4 months which is disappointingly slow but i've also packed on muscle which may be a factor in that. Another consideration is that I have PCOS which plays its part in making fat loss difficult (insulin resistant i believe - I dont want to do Keto as its too hard).

My focus is fat loss whilst not sacrificing the muscle I have built, so i've been focusing on protein intake.

Here are my stats:

Sex: Female
Age: 25
Height: 170cm
Weight: 174lbs / 78.9 kg
Body Fat: 33% (source: calculator.net)
Work: Sedentary
Gym: 5-6 days a week. (Weightlifting (Strength Focused) & 20-30 min Cardio x 3 days)
Gym Session: 1 hour 30 mins to 2 hours

Am i doing this right, i dont know if im on a slight deficit anymore cause my initial maintenance was 2200 calories but now im seeing 1600 as maintenance and im so confused.
