I am fairly new to the world of counting Macros. I would love to hear individual stats and Macros. Looking for ideas and would love to see what works for different ppl.
I am 5'6'' 118lb. 18K steps per day average. Weigh lifting 4-5x per week.
Currently doing:
2100 Cal
226g Carbs
158g Protein
63g Fat

What are your goals?1

Speaking very generally, recommended macros should be viewed as a range, not as specific numbers. Where any one person falls within that range can vary based on goals, preferences, etc.
Here is the cheat sheet I keep for myself. I tend to get bogged down in the finer details that don't really matter all that much, so this is a helpful reminder for me. It tells me 2 things: (1) what my range is for each macro, and (2) what my min/max cals are for cutting and bulking. You can use the same recommendations, but use your own weight/body fat to figure out your ranges, then use your goals/preferences to decide where in those ranges you want to be.

Maintain weight. Change body composition to more lean muscle and a bit less fat. Also just want to be overall healthy and stronger. I find when I'm counting macros that I have much more accountability for what I consume0 -

I would also think both the protein is high and the fat low. Why did you pick what you picked?1 -
