How do i start?

Hi im new at this, ive been working out for a while and havent seen anychanged on the scale.

im a 27 years old female, 130lbs and 5 foot (152cm). I go to the gym at least 3-4 times a week with a minimum of 30 min of cardio. My upper body is lots of muscles but lower as mostly fat..trying to loose 15lbs and when i try to set my goals i to the apps it says i should only eat 1240 calories which to me is low !!! And how do i know my macro like 40p/40c/20f ? I know everyone is different but i dont wanna loose the muscle i already have. Ive been ready a lot lately and it is so confusing..can someone help me ?

i do i know how many calories a day ? I know there are the NET calories and all but it seems weird cuz we dont really how muh calories i burn whole weight lifting !! Is there a number i could eat everyday without having to substract the calories i burn while excercising?

Thank you

It sounds like you might prefer the TDEE method of setting calorie targets. You'll find information on that and other useful topics in this post and the links it offers.
