Sedentary

I have a question on Sedentary. I'm logged down on MFP as sedentary. Any walking i do to work and from work counts as extra calorie or it doesn't? A month ago, i was eating under 1500kcal and my weight loss hardly shifted for 3weeks. Then within 2 week of going back up to 1700, i lost 5lbs and the weight loss was steady after that. So, i'm struggling to find the perfect balance of calories to help me loss weight without my body feeling deprived e.g. Yesterday's calories 1850, exercise 567, net 1283. I'm not sure if i should be eating more or just leave things as it is.

I'm 6'2, 212.6lbs, goal 189. To lose a pound a week, i need to be eating 1600 according to scooby doo but i'm starting to think i need to eat more on my exercise days e.g if i burn 300kcals at the gym, then i should be eating roughly 1800kcals?

Every little advice helps
