macro split

So I know it comes down to calories in vs. calories out, but I've taken a liking to macro tracking because of the accountability and flexibility it provides me.

I'm 120 lbs, 5'3'' 27 years old. I have a pretty sedentary job although have about a 30 min walk total (to and from mass transit). I lift 4 times a week and cardio 2-4 times. Based on the calculations, eating at 1700 calories per day does put me at a slight deficit. I don't care so much about the number, just focused on fat loss really.

I've continuously struggled to stay under my fat and protein macros previously assigned me so I adjusted my intake to 150 P / 140 C / 60 F - I'm not necessarily seeing the scale change but I do feel like I'm looking better. My question is, am I doing more harm to my fat loss goal with keeping my protein/fats on the higher end? I don't find that my energy is particularly down with my carbs on the "lower" end. I was just curious if I need to readjust based on my goal?

None at all.

If it's working keep at it. Make adjustments if and when you feel something is off...
