    Well...seems like you are on track. 1250 is just a number. You need to determine whether the calories are sufficient for a weight loss. Along with the 400-450 in exercise, you are roughly around 850-900. Keep up the weights and start increasing if it feels good. There's really no secret or formula since everyone is different so try different things. If you are losing too much too fast bump up your calories. Too slow weight loss or no weight loss, cut some more calories. Key is to track what works and what doesn't and continue moving. Good luck! :)

    If you are not eating at least your BMR then you are not eating enough. TDEE-20% would be good for better fat loss. Your workouts look good.
