    In my understanding, over 10,000 steps would be considered active.

    No, because 10,000+ steps is neither sedentary nor lightly active.

    At least active.

    Pick the one that seems most reasonable, test drive it for 4-6 weeks, then adjust based on average weekly weight-change results if necessary. If you have menstrual cycles, compare body weight at the same point in at least two different cycles to calculate average weekly weight change. To adjust, assume 500 calories daily is a pound a week, and use arithmetic for fractional pounds.

    The activity levels give you a starting point for your individual experiment, but once you have enough personal experience data (calorie intake and weight change), that's a better individualized guide.
