Hello, i'm a 21 year old female currently on week 4 of p90x. Even though i weigh 46 kg (101 pounds) which is skinny, i have a lot of fat! Im happy that im getting stronger and i can see that in my arms, calves (which i never had). My diet consists of fruits and vegetables, and i occasionally treat myself with a chocolate bar. Im kind of stuck, i dont know whether to eat more than usual or if i should stick to what i'm doing (1300 cals) I'm afraid that if I'm on a calorie surplus i will gain even more weight; not in the scale but fat in my body. Please help, i will never stop p90x because i love it!! I just want some guidance from you guys.
I also noticed that my diet consists mostly of carbs, whole wheat toast, sugar free cereal and i think that might be the reason.
Note: My height is 153 cm
Thank you and your help is much appreciated

Reading the meal guide should have told you that increased Protein is what builds muscle and shreds the Fat. Try adjusting your Macros accordingly Protein 50% Carbs 30% Fats 20% then in a few weeks adjust down to 40-40-20. That should take care of all your problems. Be sure to also consume all of your daily calories you need the fuel.
