There's a really great website with a few tips on how to maintain your weight.

They've got a lot of really cool and helpful tips.

Adjust your calories upward slowly and not all at once.

this! increase your cals by 100 per week for a few weeks till you get to MFPs maintenance. you may then find that you can actually go higher, as MFP says my maintenance is 1600 but i am actually netting 1900.

you will of course have to eat ALL your exercise cals as well. And you should have a maintenence range, not one fixed number, as you will find that your weight will fluctuate. My range is 122-126lbs, and i weigh myself every couple of days as i am still working out exactly how many cals i need. i have learnt how my weight fluctuates, so i dont worry if i am up or down a few pounds as long as i dont get over 126 for a sustained period.

^ Right here. 100kcal/week is a good starting point.

May I ask why you should increase slowly? Is this to prevent a gain?
