TDEE is 3108
TDEE -15% is 2641.8
BMR is 2012
BMR *1.55 = 3118.6
I am confused. I do exercise 4 days a week on average. M-W I do a combination of cardio and strength training for an hour. T-Th is strictly cardio for an hour. I typically burn 400-500 calories on my exercise days. Please help me to figure out how many calories I should eat a day. Also, am I to eat back my exercise calories. I am not sure if I calculated right or not. So here is the specifcs. I am 40, 284.4lbs, 5 feet 5.5 inches and exercise 4 days a week. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes your calculations are right.
The 2641 is what you'd eat. Eat enough of your exercise cals back to make sure you always "net" that #, never going below BMR0 -
