When to stop focussing on losing weight and focus on muscle gain?

Struggling to eat enough calories after cutting out rubbish
Hi! To lose a little weight and tone up my calorie goal is 1310 a day. Even after all three meals and some snacks (usually cheese and crackers or some fruit) I struggle to get above 1100.
