    That's one form of resistance training - bodyweight exercises (such as pushups, squats, lunges, etc) are another form.

    You don't have to do both, but resistance training helps (more than just cardio) ensure as much of the weight you lose is fat, and not muscle and other lean mass.

    You can only do one, but you can't expect the results you want unless you are implementing the plan that would address your goals. And I can tell you, I know a lot of people who never get the body they want when all they did was cardio. I know a lot of people who got the body they wanted by doing both.

    You Are Your Own Gym and Convict Conditioning are two good programs. I think fitness blender has some other options.

    I'd say if your 2164 tdee is accurate, go ahead and reduce 750 cals to make a 1.5/week loss, (eat about 1400 per day). But if you add exercise or tons of walking, eat back 50-75% of the calories burned (MFP tends to overestimate these amounts). This way you will lose steadily, preserve your muscle, and after you get adjusted you shouldn't experience too many hunger pangs if you are eating relatively healthy foods.

    No OP wouldn't as TDEE already counts the activity.

    That would be by NEAT.

    I bolded the part where I referred to her eating back calories if she is adding activity that wasnt included in her TDEE estimate. For example, if she calculated her TDEE as sedentary, and then decided one day to start adding exercise, then she would eat back some of those calories. None of us know exactly how she determined her TDEE.
