I did some research and looked at my BMR and caloric intake recommendations based on the moderately-actively lifestyle that I described in my original post. It looks like the results of my calculation are close to the 2100 cals that you have mentioned.

Thank you for all the replies so far. Many of you had questions about what goes into those 1600 calories that I consume. The short answer is - nothing really great. My carb and fat intake is higher than what it probably should be. My protein intake is decent. This WILL be an area of focus. Should I run less and lift more?…
