Your activity level as per the guidelines in setup should match your lifestyles activity,

You can use MFP to calculate or calculate your TDEE and do it that way. Do a search of TDEE calculator on the Internet and you'll find a bunch. Based on your sex, age, weight, and how often you exercise, it will give you a daily calorie requirement. From that you can deduct if you're trying to lose weigh. Check out this one to start -
