It would be a reasonable fat intake for someone whose healthy goal weight is around 88 pounds.
OP, I hope you understand that macronutrients are a "close is good enough" proposition; that nutrients generally are about nutrition, but it's pretty much entirely calorie level that determines weight management success (but food choices affect satiation and happiness, so make any particular calorie level harder or easier to stick with long enough to manage weight).
In particular, it's fine to eat treats once the basics of good nutritional balance are covered, or even on an exception/rare basis for a special occasion even at the expense of one day's nutrition score.
Success means balancing nutrition, tastiness, satiation, calorie level, social connection, and more, in a way that keeps you personally satisfied and happy long term.
I'm guessing what size you might be, but if that 1300-some calories is an appropriate level for you, I'm betting you could decrease protein a little in order to get sufficient fats. (I'm 5'5", and shoot for a minimum of 100g protein daily, which is around twice the US RDA already.)
Reasonable calories for weight management + good balanced eating for nutrition + exercise for fitness = best odds of continued long term good health.
Best wishes, and congrats on hitting the exact macros!2 -

Yes of course, totally agree! This works for me for this cutting cycle and as a lifter-
It’s more tongue and cheek because we all know the database isn’t accurate but sometimes you need to give yourself a gold star, today I definitely needed that gold star lol!6 -

Increase fiber gradually. Gradual adaptation = minimal family-perceptible side effects. 2 -

Ahem. I was speaking to the OP's implied social sensitivities, not predicting your personal idiosyncratic proclivities, TW.
Please, by all means: Go eat a big head of cabbage, a couple of good-sized onions, and a generous bowl of All Bran, and have a wonderful time. I'll be over here a safe number of states away, waiting for your li'l hobby to register on the Richter scale, and your nearest metro area's air quality meters.6 -

Long term discipline and results are more important than what a few numbers add up to.0
