So i was eating 1200 for a while - months on end and not losing weight, maintaining around 138 - 140 pounds (im 5 foot 5 or 165cm) so i upped my cals for the past 6 weeks up to about 1600-1700 a day, i have been bobbing up and down between 140 and 142 for 6 weeks. After first upping from 1200 - 1500 i gained 4 pounds almost immediately, then slowly lost 2 but when i eat too many carbs (*over 200 grams a day) i go back up to 142 pounds.

Does anyone have any advice for me on what cals to eat now, I want to lose around 15 pounds in weight - this is how my last few months have looked
