    Put that personal data into your MFP profile and MFP will give you a reasonable starting estimate for all of those things.

    Follow that recommendation pretty closely (maybe +/- 50 calories) for 4-6 weeks, then look at your average weight change per week over that whole time. Adjust if necessary to get on a reasonable track for your goals, using the assumption that 1100 calories per day is roughly a kg per week gain/loss. (Use arithmetic for partial kgs.)

    If you're female and have menstrual cycles, use a time period that compares body weight at the same relative point in at least two different cycles.

    That's the basic idea. Best wishes!
