What amount of carbs should I eat each day with lifting?

Right now I eat 260 grams a day, 2000-2200 kcals, lifting 3-4 times a week, horse riding 1-2 times a week, cycling 1-2 times a week.

I'd like to gain muscle but I'd also like to shed some bodyfat, get leaner. So lets call it a recomp approach.

Stats: 5 ft 4 inches, 127 lbs.

    A true recomposition needs regular macro adjustment. What's your main focus -- muscle gain or fat loss?

    First muscle gain for 1-2 months now, as I'm lifting heavy, then fat loss. But I have time, so I can take everything slowly.
