    I'm 5'4" and 113lbs ...I look healthy and fit as I do lift weights and do cardio as well. I just have a petite frame. I am in the process of doing body recomp and expect my weight to go up a bit which is no big deal to me. I prefer to take measurements and estimate by how my clothes fit.

    OP ...there is no magic number, go by how you feel and look ..take progress pics and monitor. If you're using TDEE method, you do not eat back your exercise cals as that is already accounted for. With MFP, it's expected to eat back.
