Should I Cut Calories Now?

I was a chronic low-cal dieter for about 5 months eating 1000 calories or less a day. I tried to do a metabolic reset by just taking a whole diet break (eating far above maintenance so I could gain weight to get my period back) for about 4 weeks. Do you think my metabolism is repaired enough for me to start a cut, or should I wait 2-4 more weeks?

There's some mixed messages out there about calorie intake and damaged metabolism, but I think it'd be best to eat at maintenance or at a smaller deficit for a while.0
