How are you calculating your TDEE? If your BMR is 1748, unless you sit in a chair all day and only get up to pee, a TDEE of 2098 is really low...0

The sedentary in that description is 40 hr desk job, couple hr commute, on your rear rest of the day. Nothing but brief shopping on weekend.
You truly that Sedentary? Probably not.
Be honest if you want it to work.
No exercise at all.
Selecting 15% will end up above, but get the TDEE level right first.0 -
When I put in your stats it shows below BMR for a 20% cut, I would probably start with only a 15% maybe? That shows above BMR. I am new to this though so maybe someone else can weigh in.
I would also try maybe adding in some exercise. The lowest level on Scooby's calc is 1-3 hours light exercise/week (which isn't much). For my first calculation I have been did no exercise (because I am very sedentary and wanted to get the eating down before I try to throw in an exercise routine) but I have calculated for what my numbers will be when I get down to my next 5 lbs using the light exercise and it actually made quite a bit of difference.0 -
