Google tdee calculator. That should help you get a ballpark.

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) or Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR).

Lots of online "calculators" will give you an estimate, such ad this one:

With activities such as working and walking from here to there , But no gym, ...about 2500.
Just laying in bed all day or sitting in front of tv, about 1500.

You cannot burn an imaginary fiction..... Further, the body does not burn- it undergoes extremely selective chemcial cascade

One definition of burn is: "to undergo combustion;" where combustion is defined as "a chemical change, especially oxidation." A controlled oxidation of organic molecules within the mitochondria of animals can definitely be called burning.

There is zero chance that is your bmr and probably your tdee including exercise with the stats you gave

According to fitbit I burn 17 calories every 15 minutes while asleep. 17x4 = 68, 68x24 = 1632. That’s my BMR (how much I burn daily before adding any activity whatsoever). Apparently.

No chance. That might be your TDEE and it will include activity and exercise.

There's a BMR estimator right here on MyFitnessPal.
It will be slightly lower than your RMR.

If you are really interested you can go to a specialist testing facility for your RMR.
