What do you mean by reverse dieting? If you are underweight then work on gaining weight. Shouldn't your goal to be at a healthy weight?

You can maintain your weight by plugging your info into MFP and selecting your goal as "maintain" and it will tell you how many calories to eat.

If you're hoping to bump up your TDEE at constant weight, increase your intake just a little (100 calories?) wait and watch closely for a week or two, while trying to push your non-exercise activity level a little alongside.

A tiny bit more discussion of maintenace cals (including the gradual build back, but not much on that, truthfully) here;

‘Reverse dieting’ is a new term for me, but if you want to gain a little, adjust your calii on rise a little and increase exercise a little. Allow 2 weeks to see what effect it has had, and adjust accordingly.

As an aside, don’t let your industry bully you into being underweight. The Fashion Industry has such a high incidence of eating disorders, as I am sure you are aware.
