    I'm not really sure what your question is to be honest...

    I would probably try lightly active and monitor results. If you don't gain as quickly as you expect, then consider moving it up to active. All of this takes a little trial and error since it's all based on estimates and generalities. Try one activity level and see how you feel in a few weeks.

    I'd set it to
    Lightly Active: Spend a good part of the day on your feet (e.g. teacher, salesman)

    That sounds about right...

    I used to stock at a large busy grocery store. I had to put myself in the very active category.

    If you're a cashier go with lightly active. Deli or carry out, go moderately active
