Eating enough? Not sure

So I'm trying to maintain my weight after a long time trying to gain (I've finally reached my goal, yay!)
But now I'm not sure if I'm eating enough. I thought it was fine to eat 2000ish calories a day, but I recently noticed that my net is about 1300 most days--which is SUPER LOW I think...
I seem to be maintaining still, but I only stopped actively trying to gain about a week ago. Aka, I'm eating less (used to be about 2300/day) and actually letting myself exercise (I LOVE WEIGHT MACHINES SO MUCH). I don't want to undo all my hard work.
So do you think I'm eating well? Should I try to eat more again? I really don't want to

It's only been a week so give it more time. What do you log as your exercise to make your net around 1300?0

the weight loss / gain will tell you. If you gain or lose steadily over a month then eat more or less accordingly.
If you have an android device there's an app called Libra that does a weighted moving average of daily scale readings and shows the underlying trend https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.cachapa.libra&hl=en0
