Based on Harris-Benedict your Basal Metabolic Rate is 1311.
This is just what you need to stay alive i.e. in a coma so doesn't take account of exercise or daily life routine0 -

Your activity is not relevant to your BMR.
TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) is calculated by multiplying your BMR by a multiplier which is chosen according to your activity level.0 -
Scoobysworkshop suggests your BMR is 1305 and your TDEE is 2251 :flowerforyou:0
