Fellow petite peeps under 5ft

I teach pole dancing and I find it very hard to figure that out myself. I can't figure out how many calories I burn during a class I teach or during the time I train by myself. Fitbit barely counts my aerial time except sometimes it says I climbed stairs. Then I am 5'1" and weigh 139 pounds and I look slightly overweight but have put on a very noticeable amount of muscle so I am not even sure what I should weigh. I set my goal at 130 pounds and I will go from there. I refuse to lose any muscle so I can look more feminine I would rather be able to pull myself up the pole using only my arms.

5'1 1/2" (every quarter inch counts). My TDEE is 1440. To lose .5 lb week I eat 1200 --right not not eating all exercise calories back but if I have some to eat and i'm hungry, or out to dinner, or whatever I'll do it

My goal is to lose _+ 5 lbs of fat but add muscle and add in more exercise to raise maintenance to 1500/day.

I used to lament that being short meant that every pound showed and that losing weight was hard as there's far less calorie cushion. On the other hand, a 5 to 7 lb weight loss on a shortie looks like a 20 lbs weight loss on someone 5'8" so there's a bright side .

I'm 5ft and I'm having 1350 cals a day for 0.5lbs weight loss a week. I've still have about 20lbs to reach my goal. I imagine I may have to drop to 1200 at some point.
