I'm 5'8 , 20 years old and currently weigh 135 lbs.
My goal is to lose 5 more lbs and I will still be good with my BMI

How many calories to intake to lose those 5lbs?
and after losing those 5lbs how many calories a day should I consume to maintain my weight?

    depends on how much exercise you do as well as your activity level. Just plug all your number into this website and it should give you a rough idea.

    With only 5 pounds to lose set your diary to lose .5 pounds a week.
    Side question: why do you want to lose anything? I'm sure you look great.
