    Doing the TDEE method or the MFP eat back exercise calories method?

    How fast have you lost weight in the last month? (Rate of 1lb a week would suggest you need to add approx 500 cals a day to maintain.)

    You will probably have to experiment to find the magic number that allows you to keep within an acceptable weight range. Remember it needs to be a range not a single number to allow for normal weekly/monthly fluctuations.

    Considering you are in the underweight range right now ... above maintenance until you gain some. Netting around 1800-2000 calories combined with an exercise plan that includes resistance training would be a start point.
