Setting-up goals (sedentary vs active)

Question: When you guys setup your goals, how did you chose your normal daily activities? I originally chose 'sedentary' (since I work on the computer all day), but am thinking I should've chosen 'active' since I workout every day of the week... I lost the first 3 weeks, but have been the same or even gained for the last two weeks (and I know that I'm not consuming 3,500 calories week)... I know my weight can fluctuate (TOM, etc.), but this is getting ridiculous...

Any advice? Should I up my calories and see what happens? I don't want to keep gaining! :(

Thanks!

    On MFP, the daily activity does not include exercise. MFP expects you to log those workouts and eat those calories to account for it.

    If you are using a TDEE calculator, then they would include exercise.
