Calories Intake - To up it or not

Happy Friday To All,
I was wondering if some could take a look at my exercise log and tell me if you think I am taking enough calories in.
I try my best to lift 4 to 5 days a week on my lunch hour and then I do my cardio at home in the evening. I am a bit limited on my cardio and I am recovering from heel spurs and plantar fasciitis, but I am trying to get at least 20 mins of cardio in if I am not feeling much pain. Unfortunately my feet are still in control and I do have limits.
I love to lift and I look forward to lifting each day at lunch, I am just guessing on the calories burned during lifting. I really don't rest that much between sets and I do get a good sweat going.
I am noticing a change in the way my clothes fit but not a big difference on the scale.
My goals are to skim down some but also to put my muscle back on and be well defined again. I am just concerned with so much lifting that I might not do well at 1200 calories a day. I do eat my calories back that I do burn.
Thank you in advance to all.
