Maintaining Weight
Hi (:

Stats:
Height: 5ft
Age: 25
Completely sedentary job Monday through Friday
Current Calories: 1700
Cutting Calories: 1500
Lift: 6 times a week (back/biceps, legs, and shoulders/abs/triceps) x2
Cardio: due to cutting I was walking on the treadmill everyday (speed 2.7) for an hour

On July 1st I started a cut where I dropped from 1700 to 1500 calories. My weight certainly changed, it went from 113lbs to 109lbs.

How do I go back to maintenance without gaining it all back? Would I go straight to 1700 calories. What about my current cardio? How do I start weaning that off?

Generally speaking is 1700 calories a good number for my stats? Any chance I could ever raise that? I obviously would love to eat as much as I can without gaining
