What would my activity level be based on TDEE?

Hi I'm trying to figure out what my activity level would be based on TDEE... I'M thinking moderate active but I really am not sure. I'm doing circuit training or cardio on 5 days a week. I walk everyday from 30-60 minutes (3.5-4 mph). In total I burn around 300-400 calories from my exercise everyday, except for my non cardio days where I burn around 150-200. I don't work, I'm a part time online university student but I do some cleaning in the house for about 30 minutes to 1 hour a day. Also, I was wondering why my BMR on some websites is 1250 and on some others is 1350... Which one would be more accurate?
I'm 5'3 and 113.5 pounds.
Thanks...
My circuit training-cardio is about 45-50 minutes

Ignore the house cleaning, it isn't working out (though it does burn calories) and don't worry about your burn. Figure out the total number of hours you exercise at per week and the intensity. That will tell you what your activity level is. It sounds like you might be moderately active to me too, but that assumes that your circuit training and cardio go for at least 30 minutes at a fairly intense level.0
