How long at TDEE should I aim for?

I've been cutting since January 1 and I've stalled this past 5 weeks or so. I started at 151lbs and have gotten to 147 (though the 151 was the high weight after finding TDEE).

I think it's time to go back to TDEE, I was really hoping to get to 145 before doing that, but it doesn't seem it's going to happen. How long should I easy at TDEE?

    Probably couple weeks. Though if you only got 9 weeks out of 14 before body adjusted too much - may need to be longer.
    And then not so long next time in deficit eating - body appears too willing to adjust down.
