Once you reach your fat loss goals, then what?

I'm not there yet, but I'm close. I'm wondering how I need to adjust my program once I'm down to my goal body fat percentage. My bmr is 1200 and tdee is 1500 (with no exercise) so whether I exercise or not, I always aim to net at 1200. Once I'm down to my goal, do I aim to net at 1500 calories to maintain?

 As for exercise how do I change that? I currently walk every other day for half an hour, do body Attack twice a week, body step, body Pump and rpm all once a week and then heavy weight lifting twice a week. Would I need to limit the cardio sessions and increase weight lifting sessions to build more muscles or is a full body weight lifting work out twice a week while eating at maintenance enoughto build muscle? Will all my cardio be counterproductive to my muscle gaining goals?

 I was thinking of maybe replacing some cardio sessions with les mills grit strength once I'm ready to switch up my program. Anyone had any experience with this?

 Sorry for all the questions, and thanks for any advice!

I am in a similar situation. I plan to reach my fat loss goal and then focus more on building more muscle, which in turn keeps energy consumption high to up keep those muscles and fat out of the equation. Ultimately, you will have to get into a muscle maintenance or fat off mode. Good luck!
