Will I still loose

My calorie intake is set for 1.250 calories per day, at the moment I’m struggerling to do any form of exercise due to some health reasons. Will I still loose the weight by sticking to my calories but not exercising 😫

Yes because thats not many calories

Exercise is great for your health, but not necessary for weight loss.
MFP has given you a calorie deficit to lose weight, exercising will just give you more calories to consume (you are supposed to eat back calories burned through exercise) so it makes no difference whether you exercise or not.

Yes I’m doing it by diet alone! I can’t exercise bc of pain so it’s just whatever I’m doing at work and basic housework I do when I’m having less pain.

Absolutely. MFP is designed in such a way that you would be expected to eat your exercise calories ON TOP of that base number, if you were doing any exercise.
